Book Reviews of Continental Drift (P.S.)
Book Review: A Novel of Great Passion!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is a book of great passion. The pathos of the last lines are stunning. They are written about a man, who step by step, became involved the Cocaine smuggling and caused the death of several innocent people. I don't want to give too much of the plot away, but read the following lines.
"Knowledge of the facts of Bob's life and death changes nothing in the world. Our celebrating his life and grieving over his death, however, will. Good cheer and mournfulness over lives other than our own, even wholly invented lives--no, especially wholly invented lives--deprive the world as it is of some of the greed it needs to continue to be itself. Sabotage and subversion, then, are this book's objectives. Go, my book, and help destroy the world as it is."
How profound! I wrote inside the cover of this powerful book the following lines: "How glad I am that I have a vision of what society should be!" Without idealism, the world is meaningless. That's what was wrong with main character in this memorable novel.
