review 1: Jeg har skiftevis læst den på engelsk og på dansk. Synes, at den er meget poetisk på engelsk, men også meget svær at læse. Og selvom jeg læser den på min Kindle og kan slå ord op hurtigt, så bliver det alligevel for enerverede at skulle slå op hele tiden og vurdere, hvordan ordene skal bruges i sammenhæng. Det er en langsom bog, både i læsehastighed, men også i selve historien. Nogle steder vil jeg give den tre stjerner, nogle steder fem. Men alt i alt vurderer jeg den til en firer pga. sproget og den fine historie. Det har selvfølgelig også gjort indtryk på mig, at jeg hørte Stefan Merrill Block fortælle om den faktuelle baggrund af denne roman, der er fiktion.
review 2: I didn't finish this book, but I still gave it a 'like' rating. it
... more's the tale of a family falling apart in the wake of the nervous breakdown of the father, who, though charming and witty, was also destructive and often an embarrassment to those around him. the story goes back and forth from him in the asylum, and the family trying to pick up the pieces of their life. I think it would be a great book for a book club, it has lots of potential for discussion, but it just didn't keep my attention enough, especially with so many more tasty books to choose from. less
