Críticas

I liked 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay', but this was not my cup of tea. In general, the writing was good and the premise was interesting, but the characters were more sad than interesting. I did find the continual use of footnotes to be quite distracting. Not sure why some of the text was included as footnotes, it is not like it was not part of the main narrative.

The fact that this was a work of fiction somewhat raised the bar on what I expected from a story. This felt artificially disjointed and I had a hard time caring about any of the characters except the narrator. I reached a point where I felt like this was not what I wanted to be thinking about so I put it aside.… (mais)

I really enjoyed this book, which is ultimately about all the ways people can be trashed and the ways to escape. It is imaginative and heartfelt, with well-developed characters. Ostensibly the story of two cousins who create a comic book superhero around the time of World War II, it touches on magic, religion, mythology, all the various types of love, friendship and personal fulfillment that can be found if you look hard enough and are brave. A caveat to dog lovers, you might want to skip the polar section, you'll thank me… (mais)

A little over written in places and a little too long at the house for Passover but a great read with plenty of metaphor and trope. Sometimes a little too glib. I enjoyed the movie and the characters and film was in mind when I read the novel. The story was different enough and the ending pulled it up from a 4 to a 4.5. One of the few truly great endings read in the last months.

Stop me, oh oh oh, stop me, stop me if you think that you've heard this one before - an old man on his deathbed tells the story of his life in time hopping fragments. His mad wife tormented by the Skinless Horse was more interesting to me, with the huge deception buried in her past - Oh, who said she lied, because she never, she never, who said she'd lied because she never?
