Book Reviews of The Savage Detectives: A Novel
Book Review: (4.5) Amazing Literature But Pales In Comparison To 2666
Summary: 4 Stars
Bolano's first novel of great length is the work of a masterful genius (is that redundant), but when held up against 2666, it feels fairly insular. The diary is amazing, but the oral histories can ramble a little bit. All in all amazing and certainly the best novel released in the English language in 2007.
