review 1: Callisto, semplificando un pochetto, è una versione post 9/11 di Forrest Gump scritta da da un cugino di Lansdale. È la storia di un ragazzo non proprio brillante che si trova coinvolto in una catena di disavventure sempre più gigantesche in un piccolo paesino della provincia americana.Il passo della storia è un po' lento e di tanto in tanto l'allegoria e l'ambizione di fare un Grande Romanzo Americano sono un po' troppo calcate, ma è una lettura piacevole con dei momenti di buona comicità
review 2: This book is like Forrest Gump but darker. If you are a conservative Republican who loves Dubya, you may not like this book. The author's disdain for the man is partially what inspired him to write Callisto. I don't have that hang-up, so I was fascinated by
... more the creative story-telling. This book is very different from The Dolphin People, but just as good. I am anxiously awaiting his next book to come out here in a few months. I have pre-purchased it on Amazon. I'm returning Callisto to the library, but I have a copy of The Dolphin People that I'm loaning around. less

This book is incredibly stupid and insulting to Americans (it's written by an Australian).

Terrible, don't do it. Not funny, super dumb so if that's your thing then maybe.
