Reviews

[Julie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was entertaining, and appropriately seasonal for October reading, but there was something that bothered me. There was a screenplay sort of feel to the writing, as though it was a script that was stretched thinly into a novel. The sparseness was as if Hemingway or Murakami were telling you a ghost story.

она ко мне вернулась, и я ее наконец-то дочитал. надо признаться, что начало когда-то произвело на меня большее впечатление, но и целиком это вполне бесхитростно написанная, но приятная южная готическая фантазия, притча а ля "Мертвец". кинематографическая параллель тем более уместна, что это, по сути, литературный сценарий

Years and years ago I read The Poet in Exile and loved it, so when I saw this one, I thought, sure let's try it, sounds interesting. Finally got a copy through PBSwap, so yay!
