One messed up book with a bunch of messed up and disturbed people. Trying to think if there is one likable character - Boney? Screwed up and twisted to the point it is fascinatingly enjoyable.

Interesting. Didn't know much about Write or his loves. Very glad I never had to suffer his company. The style of the book, however, was very different to the other TC Boyle books that I have read.

Came across this in the Anarchist's Book Store in Obs.

I'm on an Alaska binge plus obsessed with 'retelling' of fairytales. Two obsessions in one book. Of course I had to read it.

Lauren Beaukes is on my automatic buy list. No point in my saying more, since my previous statement already compromises my objectivity.

A very different novel, told in poetry-esq prose. Two sets, that alternate. The first is 'snap shot' poems that tell bits of people's stories. The second set is a running story line about a woman and later a man she meets - both of whom are connected to the snap shots from the past.

This book sucked me in and left me wanting more of this unusual story line. I'm not always into experimental novels, but this (obviously) worked for me.

This book came to me by an accident of sorts. I went to pay at the book exchange for my modest pile consisting of mostly easy reads when the owner handed me two books. 'I think these may be books you'd be interested in.'

Much of the storyline is set in 1999 - the same year I first came to RSA - and the narrator is an American woman.

A gift from my father. While reading it, I often found similarities in the narrative to the current Israeli / Palestine conflict.

I loved this book. A shame it is from the library (and due to be back soon) or I would have drawn it out even further. The little things, the phrases, the thoughts, the imagery - savoured it all.

Picked this up in Juneau. It seemed like the right thing to do.
