review 1: After reading this book I have to say that I agree with the reviewers who think that Lasdun is a beautiful writer. I also agree with the reviewers (critics?) who think that he might be a liar. As many others have already mentioned in their respective reviews, there is something that seems to be "missing" throughout the book, as if there are large chunks of the story that have been removed for no apparent reason. Given that Ladun is so clearly a gifted writer it's hard to see any reason for this other than intent. Just saying.
review 2: The premise of Lasdun's book is inherently fascinating and very timely in this society's advent of cyber-stalking; it had the potential to be utterly engrossing. However, Lasdun has a few fatal flaws, namely numerous gregarious ... morediversions and a lack of self-awareness of his own rather guilty part in the entire stalking event. The emanation of Nasreen's relationship with Lasdun is very much encouraged by Lasdun, and the realization of that within the first few chapters rather ruined the book for me. less
