I read this because I'd seen the HBO series, which ran for three seasons. Turns out, the book the basis for the first season only. And it's even slower going. SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS (view spoiler) ...more |

This was good. But it started a little shaky. The nitpicks: It's clearly written by a British author. Which, nothing wrong with that, except the main characters are American, so all the Britishisms are distracting. A few: “Fob him off” “Well done” Amer ...more |

"Is it wrong to say that I grabbed this book based purely on that front cover?
I knew that this wouldn't be the case, but seeing that box on the doorstep, with the blood - it just reminded me of the film Seven - iykyk!! Anyway, either way - I was prett" Read more of this review » |

“In the mental health field, suicide is part of the diseases of despair. Alcoholism, drug addiction, suicidal ideation. It’s a physical health condition. We don’t ‘commit’ a heart attack. Saying it associates blame, like committing a crime or a sin. The stigma can deter people from coming forward who are contemplating suicide. And also, a person may attempt a suicide, but they may not complete it.”

“With a novel, which takes perhaps years to write, the author is not the same man he was at the end of the book as he was at the beginning. It is not only that his characters have developed--he has developed with them, and this nearly always gives a sense of roughness to the work: a novel can seldom have the sense of perfection which you find in Chekhov's story, The Lady with the Dog.”

“Good writers have two things in common: they prefer to be understood rather than admired; and they do not write for knowing and over-acute readers.”

“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”

“We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names.”
