Bad Books (by Writers You Love)

a menisha moon might be the last my least favorite among the lethal nobles but even this one features a couple of truly unforgettable scenes and passages that i rank among the most imaginative science fiction i've ever read

cloud atlas and number nine dream are among the best novels the most stimulating and inventive and wondrous novels i've read in recent years

i really appreciated this grace a few years back myself

i liked the idea in all honesty i like the execution i like the wonderful illustrations and yet it still fell short a bit like with lovecraft's festival it felt like it didn't convey the full potential of what the narrative what the character significance of what all that was aiming toward

what i experienced with this book which was enjoyable flowed very nicely it's engaging you care about the protagonist you want to see how her life develops i just felt like it lacked the genius of her other books

the non-existent knight by calvino has nothing on the first two volumes in the ancestors trilogy funnily enough and ironically it exists and that's most i can say about the book

oh and speaking of truly absolutely really irredeemably bad only revolution and the 50-year sword by mark danielewski and the new life by auram pamuk no it's one person's opinion it's just mine but i don't think they should have seen the light of publication in the first place

summerland and telegraph avenue suffer from that a little bit but with both of these books even just because of the way they were written because of chambers amazingly baroque and lush narrative style i still count these books among my favorite all the same

the even the crying of lot 49 is so genius on a sentence by sentence basis that it makes no sense for me to think about it as in any way a bad novel even though it might be my least favorite among the pension nobles

the ones i would probably count as my least favorite are gentlemen of the road and the final solution

i just think that novel might be less ambitious than his other works but considering what it's trying to achieve it is a it is a small masterpiece really

definitely only revolution and 50 year sword and into a lesser extent the familiar changed the way i looked at mark danielewski as an author maybe cured me a little bit of a fascination i had with this quirky and conventional narrative techniques in general

earlier this year i really struggle with of those who leave and those who stay i think is the english title the third volume in elena ferrante's neapolitan novels which truly put me off the whole series for a little bit

a couple of weeks back i reviewed utopia avenue by david mitchell a book that i disliked immensely

vineland and the crying of lot 49 did not really convince me the way the other pension novels did
