review 1: An interesting take on Dickens' A Christmas Carol brought up to date and bringing in more cotemporary issues. I found Six Bits to be an interesting tale but a difficult read. The style of writing didn't appeal to me and at times I found it difficult to cope with the use of colloquial american and over liberal and rather forced adverb use (which brought to mind exercises in school english lessons).
review 2: Confession: I picked this book purely on the fact that it has one of the highest ratings on Goodreads I've ever seen. I trusted my fellow Goodreaders not to let me down. NOT disappointed! Where do I start...first of all, the description on the jacket does this book no justice. There was no mention of the religious overtones that come along later (which I... more love, but was surprised about). I liken the first part of this book to the TV series "Lost"...you're not really sure what is happening or where the charater is, and the main character is someone who obviously needs redemption. There's even a weird/creepy/nice at first Benjamin Linus character (Jubel). However, near the end I would say the book is a combination of "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Carol". Sure, sometimes the writing was a bit amtuerish, but it is his first novel and the overall emotion of the book triumphs. Terrific, terrific book....probably my favorite of the past year. less
