I can't say much about this book without giving too much away, so I'll simply say I really enjoyed it. I found it reminiscent of some early Vonnegut (Sirens of Titan, Cat's Cradle). It's very thought-provoking. Although I could certainly see why some people might not enjoy it as much as I did. ( ) The main problem that I had with the book was the inconsistency of themes. Quinn would switch back and forth between the themes of accuracy of history and what it means to be a true individual. The former theme was only portrayed well in one chapter, in which the school girls retell the history of the world. However, that is not persuasive at all and feels entirely fabricated and unnatural. The latter theme was even more poorly developed. It felt as though it was intended to be a central theme of the novel, but it really didn't even begin to be discussed until the very end (the hints towards it by the Uncle were terrible foreshadowing/set up). When the theme is being discussed at the end, the reader really doesn't know what Quinn is doing since Quinn has deviated from the goal of the book. Ishamael was intriguing and eye-opening. The Story of B was ok. But this was ... not worth my time. My friend Helen recommended After Dachau by Daniel Quinn to me, so I checked it out. When I told her I had finished it today, she said she had never got around to reading it. I saw a lot of potential with the story of Mary Anne Dorson but Quinn chucks that to the side in favor of a confusing story line. Plus, the middle of this book is not very good. By the end Quinn has pulled it all together and it finishes fairly strong. However, I felt no connection to the characters, the writing is overly simple and he doesn’t fully develop his ideas. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In a powerful novel of reincarnation and a deadly alternate future, the bestselling author of Ishmael explores alternative realities within the mainstream, in this case a dystopian future in which Hitler has won World War II and all non-Aryans have been eliminated. No library descriptions found. |
