review 1: He has a unique style, that is very segmented, prose like that takes a bit to adjust to. With the small size of the book, I would say it is worth reading, because there are certainly some interesting passages. Also, he does a great job of mixing the very dirty aspects of humanity with some of the loftier ideas. Although if someone is looking for a grittier type of poetry, I would recommend Bukowski before Bolaño, but it was an interesting read and i will be looking for more of his work.
review 2: It's raining and you say it's as if the cloudswere crying. Then cover your mouth and speed upyour step. As if those emaciated clouds were crying?Impossible. So then, why all this rage,This desperation that'll bring us all to hell?Nature hides some of her methodsin Mys... moretery, her stepbrother. And so, sooner thanyou think, this afternoon you consideran afternoon of the apocalypse, will seem nothing buta melancholy afternoon, an afternoon of loneliness lostin memory: Nature's memory. Or maybeyou'll forget it. Rain, weeping, your footstepsresounding on the cliff-walk. They don't matter.Right now you can cry and let your image dissolveon the windshields of cars parked alongthe boardwalk. But you can't lose yourself less
