Book Reviews of M31: A Family Romance
Book Review: years ago, but...
Summary: 5 Stars
i read this novel years ago, but the feeling of it still stays with me. i'd read a very favorable review of it in the New York Times Book Review. So, i bought the thing. After four pages, i was convinced that this guy was the worst writer in the history of the planet. On page five, i was convinced that he was one of the best. something just "kicked in for me." in place of fragmented sentences and randomly shifting points of view, there came a highly stylized narrative technique that seemed to have been invented for the sole purpose of telling this bizarre, weird, curiously powerful, and engrossing tale. And, ps. if you want another great book, totally different from M31...I have a recommendation, but it may just be a "guy" book. It's Money, by martin amis. not only is it extremely well-written, but it's THE FUNNIEST BOOK IN THE WORLD. happy reading - david
