The blurb on the back of the book sounded good, but perhaps it doesn't live up to that. I read the first of Karl Ove Knausgård's set and was absolutely fascinated by it. I read a lot and have never read anything like it before. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for the review. Shell.
Informative review, appreciate how you just tear right in there and don’t give generic thoughts that don’t reflect anything specific to the book and writing itself. I often cringe at and dislike the use of gratuitous profanity in modern writing as well. I recently picked up a copy of an old PD James mystery “Death of an Expert Witness,” so that was an interesting parallel.
Thanks for the kind words. I have not read any P. D. James, but I'll be on the lookout - Death of an Expert Witness looks like a good one to start with.
