review 1: Äntligen, jag har nu fått läst mina 4 böcker av Alice Munro på ungefär en vecka. Förmodligen kommer jag om några år knappt komma ihåg vad jag tyckte om böckerna, för det var vääääldigt mycket snabbläsning. Även om böckerna var bra och vissa fastnade jag verkligen för så.... var det ändå inte riktigt min typ av bok. Om några år kommer jag säkert att gilla den mera, men inte just nu i alla fall.
review 2: Moving, astute with a subtleness that belies the expert analysis of the human condition.These short stories will do many things; they will move you, they will make you think and re think your own assumptions and beliefs and in some you will find optimism and some you will find human failings subtly revealed in what at first appears to b... moree a simple recounting of events or life’s history. These short stories will surprise you.In particular I thought the first story, Dimensions was a powerful and emotive read with a bleakness that tugged at my heart. I did however think that the villain in the piece was let off too lightly by this author – an insanity verdict to my mind excused the behaviour; the crime was inexcusable. I did however enjoy the ending, the small ray of optimism that shone through.Something that did indeed surprise me was Child’s Play, what a revelation! (No spoilers here, you need to buy the book).Alice Munro writes with an ease and a simplicity that belies the deep psychological understanding she has of the human condition; of the foibles and failings that make us human. These short stories will make you think, will open your eyes. less
