review 1: This is the perfect book for 'my box', .....(time I spend in my sauna). I can't read paper books in the sauna for too long before the pages begin to come apart, or curl at the corners---so Kindle reading is great for my 'alone' time in 'THE HOT BOX'. I can't give a full review yet ---because I have really just started --- (I'm also reading "Crossing To Safety" by Wallace Stegner" at the same time: NOT in the box) -- but I like taking this "Knife Music" with me 'in-the-box'. What I'm excited about is to meet this author, (David Carnoy), next week at Kepler's when he speaks about his new book: "The Big Exit". (looks like another fun read). The mystery takes place in MY CITY! (always fun)Interesting: Stegner (no longer living) & Carnoy, (hot new author), lol.....b... moreoth different types of writers -----both authors from this area in Northern Calif.---1987 ---(Stegner) ---how much was an ice cream cone? 60 cents? 80 cents? 2012 ---Carnoy --- how much is a small cup of frozen yogurt? $3.50 Its fun to pay attention to the changes in time, culture, cost, different types of pressure & stress....etc. etc.note: I'm a sucker for local authors --and want to meet all of them! I think we have wonderful authors living in the Bay Area! DON'T get sick Nov. 14th (and not show up, Mr. David, Carnoy) ---even though the remodel-job of Keplers' is ....well,.....(not much to look at right now)elyseelyse
review 2: This is probably the most tedious book I have ever read. The dialog just gets more and more minute - delving in depth into characters who no one cares about instead of concentrating on the central story. The characters would give you their life story ad nauseum and I just couldn't take it any more.Someone once told me to give a book I was reading 100 pages and then decide, so that has been my rule, and in many cases I was very glad that I did. I couldn't finish it, and I gave it MORE than 100 pages! A waste of time. less
