Book Reviews of The Echo Maker
Book Review: A challenging but brilliant novel
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm fascinated by the diversity of responses to this book. It clearly is one of those novels you either love or hate. Put me on the 'love' side. Powers is a demanding author, and not all of his works fully reward the effort. This one, however, rewards it and more. As others have pointed out, 'Echo Maker' is about nothing less than the Big Ideas of self, identity, brain/mind, memory and emotion. Powers doesn't seek to answer a single question. But he does a hell of a job setting them out before us in a rich, provocative way.
