Book Reviews of Prague: A Novel
Book Review: "prague" sat on my bookshelf for a year, and i just finished it
Summary: 1 Stars
and I have no idea why I was in such a hurry. The style of writing was interesting enough but a majority of the characters got on my nerves rather than entertaining me: why the character of Horvath was even in there, I don't know, Scott(John Price's brother) was just another a-hole, Charles was a yuppie a-hole who's only redeeming quality seemed to be the fact that he had a familial connection to Budapest, and Nicky was the archetypical provocative artist/pseudo-intellectual that you always run into at coffee shops when you're in college who never seem to graduate. I even disliked John for being slutty, but then of course I am a girl so I have to filter that behavior through the horrible oft-female assumption that sex equates love.
It was a battle to finish the book with any interest: it's about 70 pages too long. If I could compare it to anything, reading "Prague" gave me the same feeling as the movie "Jarhead" with Jake Gyllenhaal - you and the characters simultaneously wait around hoping for something to pop, bang and HAPPEN, but nothing ever really does, at least nothing to write home about.
