R.W. and 79 other people liked Jill's review of Vigil:
Vigil by George Saunders
"Apparently this book is getting "divisive" reviews. Fine. I am firmly on the side of this being pedantic, boring, sloppy Boomer-lit that (barely) delivers a lukewarm, surface-level message about the relationship between nuance and the apocalypse (tho" Read more of this review »

Vigil by George Saunders
"Vigil begins enigmatically… Out of the blue…
What a lovely home I found myself plummeting toward, acquiring, as I fell, arms, hands, legs, feet, all of which, as usual, became more substantial with each passing second.

The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami
"DNF at about 23%

I am a long-time fan of Murakami but this book is not good. Once the English version has been out for longer, I'll look up some more reviews and see if it's worth finishing, but everything until about page 100 is eye-rollingly boring." Read more of this review »

I'm an admirer of Murakami's work, but he dropped the ball on this one. There were interesting segments, especially the inclusion of the ghost Mr. Koyasu and an attempt to delve into the meaning of a soul and consciousness. However, with endless repe ...more
