review 1: This was one hell of a roller coaster ride, one might even say incoherent. For the majority of this book I was never sure whether it would be worth my time and effort in the end, but it was. I actually enjoyed it very much!Everyone is this book is quite crazy, everything that happens in this book is even crazier.One of the members of a rather extreme book club decides they need to read this ancient book she brought in its stone form. They also reenact it, and not necessarily with the consent of everyone involved. It eventually (in the very end) takes them on a boat trip around the world. And there's a little robot involved even!That is really all I can say about it. It all went so fast, it al was so strange. And this is definitely a book I wouldn't be comfortable recommend... moreing to any of my friends. However, if you liked "Where'd You Go Bernadette?"(with all of it's quirks, emails, and also a strange boat trip!) and are up for an even stranger ride, you might still like to check it out.
review 2: The Lacuna Cabal Montreal Young Women's Book Club is on its last legs. Zealous member Runner Coghill decides to boost some much-needed morale by selecting The Epic of Gilgamesh--in its original stone tablet form--for their next read.Of course, simply reading isn't enough. They must experience it, and they do, living out each scene in exceedingly absurd ways, even casting unwitting strangers into roles that begin to infringe on and complicate reality.Somewhere, in all the endless quirkiness, there's a serious tale about gender, empowerment, and the immortality of fiction. less
