I will give a very brief review of "The Porpoise" so as not to soil my high opinion of Mark's writing in general. I had just finished reading his short story collection "Dogs and Monsters" and was captivated by it. One of the best pieces of work I ha ...more

I have to admit that this is a class read. I didn't think so at the beginning, when two men were vying for the attention of a woman in a hotel. But that woman turned out to be the grandmother of the large family that is the subject of the novel, and ...more

After having read a number of prize-winning books lately that I found very disappointing--either using florid language, having little in the way of punctuation, having no satisfying ending, or having ridiculous plots--it was a huge relief to read Mar ...more

Before reading a word of this novel I was presented with 31 messages of "praise" about it from famous authors and columnists--actually 30, because Mark Haddon was in there twice. Must be a fantastic read, no? One of the reviewers said it was "hard to ...more

This book is an unusual combination of fact and fiction. You don't expect Winston Churchill and Lord Kitchener and Lloyd George to appear in what is primarily a work of fiction. I liked this book. I think that the quality of Robert Harris's writing h ...more

Well, this was a refreshing change after the Murakami! A sip of Chablis after a huge plateful of beef stew. I liked the theme, the merging of different living species. I believe I read somewhere that this is just a taste of a new, full-length book th ...more

It's hard for me to write this review, as I have been a big fan of Murakami over the years. I have read all of his books, though I found it hard to read the last two or three. The early ones were great, full of mystery and magic, but set in the real ...more
