Andrew Marr’s Reviews > The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore > Status Update

This is fun and quick to read, but aspires to the WASP-y hyperintellectualism of some of my heroes (Gass, Pynchon, etc.). The book can’t achieve it. At its worst it reads like the digressive musings of an over eager undergraduate. At its best, the lyricism, language, and philosophical musings on language and consciousness are unique - albeit not unheard of - takes from an interesting point of view.
