Book Reviews of Zeroville
Book Review: "I believe this is a very good book"
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big Steve Erickson fan. He is my favorite author and I have read all his books. His novels range from strange to surrealistic. "Zeroville" is one of my favorites.
The lead character's name is Vikar. Like all Erickson novels, he is a man obsessed; in this case with movies.
It helps if you are a movie fan. Some of the movie references are obvious and some are more obscure. You should definitely see "The Passion of Joan of Arc" and "A Place in the Sun" because they feature prominently in the plot.
I don't want to go anymore into the story because I don't want to spoil anything. Let's just say this obsession leads to searching for a hidden film that is contained in every film ever made which leads to one of the most bizarre endings of any novel ever. The ending makes the films of David Lynch seem tame by comparison.
"Zeroville" is mandatory reading for all Steve Erickson fans and is a great starting place for anyone who has never read any of his books. This is one of my all time favorite books. If you are looking for a unique reading experience, you should check this one out.
