review 1: I found the book disjointed. Maybe it has to do with my age but I found it difficult to follow and comprehend the dialogue, but maybe I am not hipp enough. The writting style gave me a little bit of problems. The author ends paragrphs in midsentence of conversation, thought or action. After the first chapter I was able to follow. The story was okay, but not good enough to overcome the drawbacks.
review 2: "The Long Division" was a terrifically written novel, populated with terribly damaged, yet wholly realized and believable, characters on this terrifying collision course with their destinies. When I started reading, I thought I didn't want to know these people because there was no way this story was going to end well. Nikitas pulled me in, however, and,... more as all the pieces of his equation started coming clear, I had to stay until the very bitter end. I was also a little put off by the "jump cut" device the author uses, but, as with the rest of the book, eventually this technique became easier to follow. I will probably come back later and change my star rating - right now, it is difficult for me to even say I liked the book because it so rife with sadness and despair. Once I've had some time to digest what I'm feeling, I may be able to embrace the book a little more closely, and realize that its sum is as great as its parts. less
