Chantel Topper _hantel_opper — This can be a little hard to get through (language-wise for me, but maybe plot-wise for some people with easily-upset personalities), but what I love most about it is in fact the language- It's so well-written that I forget I'm reading about a pedophile. Every once in a while I jolt back to remembering what the story is really about, and become disgusted, but then re-immerse in the story. The dichotomy of it is so fascinating to me- how I can be so invested in Humbert and his emtotions and yet so utterly disgusted at the same time. Humbert is portrayed as a normal, intelligent, likeable character. save for the fact that he is in love with and having a sexual relationship with a young girl. see, how could you normally justify saying those things in the same sentence? hence, why i love this book.

Vinoth Báss infoegeek81b3 — thus far enjoying it, is a long-term work in progress i think.

Jaylin James jjaylin1o42ef — an ok series...

Allie Powell alliehpowell — Primer y esperemos que único tomo de la serie en bajar a tres estrellitas. ¿Tanto empeora de golpe que la calidad baja un 20% de golpe? No, si en vez de una medida de cinco estrellitas se usara una de diez, seguro le habría bajado un solo punto. Y no porque la historia vaya empeorando ni nada por el estilo, sino porque llega un punto en el que me parece que la autora empezó a dudar qué hacer con los personajes principales y no se le ocurrió otra que correr para adelante y sacar de la galera otro toquito de personajes que vienen de lejano oriente y que no se entiende si son buenos, malos, neutros, humanos, homúnculos o qué. A simple vista parecen bastante simpáticos estos "xinitos", pero en cuanto al desarrollo de la historia en sí, la verdad es que lo entorpecen bastante. Cuando haga una releída íntegra de toda la serie quizás vea la "big picture" y le suba algún punto. Por ahora, y desde mi imnorancia, se queda con tricota.

Tobias Christensen tuthc — I love the author's style! The first chapter is amazing. He picks up all kinds of small detail and makes up this moving, lovely, intriguing world. He brings in characters that aren't really integrated into the story but appear for a few lines and open up new questions: you know that there is a lot to each of these characters that you meet for a paragraph only, even though you will never know what that is. The small details remain a strong point throughout - the different manifestations of ice, the different ways that people have of dreaming, the different experiences of death, the idiosyncratic things that mark people forever. The story tries to hard and ends up becoming very gimmicky. Even the initial premise comes to feel unsatisfying when it is examined too closely. I found the attempts at telescoping the fact that the story is in the future too conspicuous and frequent (all the large mammals have died out, one of the main characters drinks wine from '27, etc.), like little "we are still in the future!" pokes that wake you out of the story. This is exacerbated by the fact that the future doesn't seem culturally different from the present at all, and that small details (viral marketing? finding things on 'the Web'?) really evoke the 1990s. We have heard the story often before, but apparently the characters haven't. His people are unconvincing as people, and you never get a clear sense of them as the sorts of people who have an inner life, or any sense of what that life could be. None of them seem to have personalities. At the same time, you get an amazing sense of what it's like to be in their body - the descriptions of one character's experience with the cold are particularly well done, vivid with small details. More importantly, the different characters small memories (these come up throughout as part of the story) are amazingly told, and convincing. They don't serve to drive a particular point forward (which I think is a problem with many authors who use flashbacks as part of their narratives); instead they are poignant, and convincing, and inexplicable. Overall, there are many annoying details that could have been improved with better editing, but the book is unusually beautiful.

Studioebon Dzynz studioebondzynz — Well, at first it seemed Mr. Gaiman was being a bit too subtle about which gods he was writing about. I looked a few up on Wikipedia, but found that it really didn't matter after the first few chapters -- I was just pulled into the story. It's a big book which weaves a complex tapestry, and well worth the time.
