Awful

Revisado: 11-26-23

The performance was alienatimg contempt from every syllable, and nothing but breezy dialogue about nothing (never felt for any character) with, yes a cannibal motif, but as said, with nothing spooky, just flesh and blood, a corpse without redemption either for the journey or the denoumont.

Revolutionary

Revisado: 05-01-23

Roher speaks to us not as an interpreter of the Sermon on the Mount, but as Jesus would coming to today's world and calling out pharisaical Christians, but calling to the poor in spirit. Put on your leathers and crash helmet!

A budding novelist.

Revisado: 11-15-15

We all love the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and hope to continue encountering her in new novels. We are half-way there. David Lagercrantz knows his subject and has the capacity to involve us as a novelist 50% of the time, and it is sweet when he does so, including us in the action and interaction scenes when they occur. But 50% of the time he is just giving us a narrative of this and that and the other thing about the story, rather than actually writing a novel. If he learns better how to eliminate narrative in favor of the novel, then we have hope for more of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

promising, but too much preachy

Revisado: 09-27-15

loved the physics and concepts of symmetry/identity vs asymetry/difference, but the social commentary/plot line was too pedantic/confused for novel form. last half especially rambling and disappointing.

Brilliant, Too Long

Revisado: 07-11-15

Yes, the brilliance of Murukami from IQ84 and Kafka on the Shore shines through in 60% of the novel. The editing down in English from the original needed another 40% reduction. Also, until a third of the way through the book it was hard to connect with any characters, but I'm glad I kept going. The quality of writing as it pertains to the overall flow is uneven and does not follow the flow of the books noted above. And strange characters with strange intonations of the characters. Kreta Cano made the most amazing transformation, but was such a flat character even so. Murukami went on to hone his style more coherently and more interestingly.

Come to Mother!

Revisado: 11-24-14

You were born in Podunk, USA with common values--be a good person and all will be well--or be a bad person, and then you die. Well, what if you do not have those options? What if I could tell you a story to rock the foundation of these beliefs? You do not need to be an unbeliever--just anyone. Whatever you think makes it ok to go to sleep at night--no longer applies. There is only one reality you (or any of us) will wake up to, only one reality you will die to: Come to Mother!.
