This book reads as if it comes from the mind of a stand-up comic which it does. Particularly in the first couple of stories the exaggeration seems as if it would play better in a performance than in a book. It's mildly amusing and a quick read, but I felt meh about it overall. Maybe because i have resentment towards Chelsea for publishing a book of witty essays less funny than a comparable book any of a number of my friends could have written. This is the third of THREE book club books for this year that I have managed to finish. This one I even finished BEFORE the book club in which we are discussing it. A screenplay is in the works about my personal achievements.

This is my partner's all-time favorite book and I can see why she likes it so much. The opening scene can't be beaten as far as openings go. It was exciting, hilarious, unbelievable ... all at once. Out of all the Douglas Adams books I've read, it suffers the *least* from lack of plot. Lots happens and several plots are operating simultaneously. It features Thor in his best role ever :) It's also my favorite Douglas Adams book that I've read.

I loved it. I realize that a movie will not do it justice but hope to see it just the same. As a child in the south I was able to relate. My parents hired "Help" to watch over all of us when we were young. Most did light cleaning and cooked. Charlottes fried chicken still holds a special place in my heart. We were by no means well off but this is before "day care", and gosh be my Mother....had a job!!! Eek! Enjoyable and thought prevoking. Funny and tense. I recommend highly.

This book makes you rethink your life about what could have been. Some people may find that uncomfortable.

As with all books that I don't finish, I'm not entering a star rating. Still, I got through about 75% of it and I thought I'd say a few words about it, for it was both a revelation and a huge irritant. The Shock Doctrine is about the Chicago School economists, spearheaded for many years by the late Milton Friedman. He and those who share his philosophy have had a profound effect on the world economy, leveraging the power of the World Bank and IMF to dictate the actions and policies of governments around the globe. The basic concept of the shock doctrine is that in order to stimulate economic change in a nation -- namely, to move it toward capitalism, privatization and deregulation, it can take a crisis, a shock to the system, so to speak. That crisis can be a natural disaster or the product of human intervention. Over the years, human intervention has become a common choice, and for that reason, we see questionable wars, coups supported by shady organizations, and the arm-twisting conditions imposed by the IMF when governments are in desperate need of assistance. I wasn't aware of any of this, and Naomi Klein's research and clear explanations really opened my eyes. I'm both disgusted and alarmed by what I learned. I think that everyone should be aware of this recent arc of history, and Klein's book is a great way to get the idea. So, why the frustration? Why didn't I finish the book? In my opinion, Klein was in desperate need of a strong-willed editor when she wrote this. She undermines her own credibility, over and over, in a couple of ways: First of all, peoples' words and actions speak for themselves, but she sometimes insists on casting aspersions upon them: for instance, she first introduces Vladmir Putin by describing him as "vaguely sinister looking." True, not true, whatever, this subjective remark is designed to vilify someone whose actions already make him villainous. So, it comes off as silly and makes her read like a less reliable writer. Second, and worse, Klein tends to use isolated, one or two sentence quotes from various people, and then use them to draw conclusions about that person's motivation or perspective -- conclusions that absolutely can't be reached via the quote she selected. Now it could be that Klein meticulously researched the people in question and that her statements are all accurate. Nevertheless, if she chooses to quote someone briefly and without context, and to leap from that quote to a conclusion that it doesn't justify, well, it's sloppy and disappointing. One day perhaps, I will pick this back up and finish it, but by the time I got three-quarters of the way through, I could see very well where The Shock Doctrine was headed, and I was too annoyed to slog my way to the end. While I am glad I learned what I did, I wish that someone had handed Klein her manuscript back with a whole lot of red ink.

A good thriller with a few unexpected twists to the plot. I didn't guess the ending though it was fairly obvious that the blonde would play a part somewhere!
Para mi punto de vista, el más flojo de Murakami que he leído. En su mayoría tiene capítulos muy interesantes, y otros que ahondan en esa psicología surreal tan propia del autor. Aún así, no me dejó tan buen sabor de boca como otras de sus obras.
