review 1: Delusional sales man comes to terms with his insanity while dragging his son through hell with him. I could not say I liked the book or the story, and I certainly tried. The character of Bunny Munro is just to far away removed from me and the things I stand for. I sometimes felt it served as a warning for men all alike. Nonetheless. Nick Cave knows how to write a story, the last chapters gripped my attention more than the first 190 pages. I would not recommend it, there are better books to loose yourself in, but if you like the man's music, you might feel more tempted to pick this up.
review 2: Sharp and striking, obscene, impossibly tender. Pity and disgust for this man who is so real, as are all of Cave's characters - be it prose or song - from the way they d... moreress to the way they speak to every last telltale name. This book is just humming with Life. It is dark, sad, infuriating, hilarious; it is morbid, arousing and bizarre, creeping up on you like a sinister one-way train [or something]. It is so real you think you have met them before, maybe, heard their voices as you happened to be nearby. It is the world like a cartoon of the world and then like your own roadtrip a million years ago. Did I say how full of life "The Death" really is? Well it's DRIPPING with it. Every chapter another of Cave's hymns; and who else could wrap up a fever dream neatly as that. less

I've enjoyed reading Nick Cave's novel, which was amusing in the beginning, then repulsive, and in the end totally sad. Some scenes were reminiscent of the mood conveyed in many of Nick Cave's songs. Many others reminded me of a David Lynch movie (nice to see this confirmed in the review of another GR member!). I think I recognised a cameo of Nick Cave as a sax player in the delirious narrative of the apologetic performance in the closing chapters of the book.

Though I really love his music and I've enjoyed the films he has written... This book is no good at all in so many levels. I'm really disappointed.The story begins promising and little by little falls into the most obvious clichès. At the end you don't know how you managed to read this messy and poor story. Nick Cave is a great musician... But as far a this book is concerned, he is not a writer.

Nederlandstalige versie gelezen, matig boek, ergste was de vreselijke vertaling

A book that gets strangled by its own characters. Overwritten and overthought.

Very Nick Cave - dark, weird, obscene genius
