Some book reviews

April 10th 2007 05:01
A bit busy at the moment with other projects at the moment, thought I'd just chuck up some quick links to previous reviews you might've missed on this blog.

Cheers, Luke.

Incompetnce - funny and original comedy/sci-fi/detective novel from Red Dwarf co-creator Rob Grant.
The Reluctant Republic - a look at Malcolm Turnbull's book on why Australia should become a Republic.
Perfume - Patrick Suskind's modern classic of olfactory decadence and adventure.

Charles Bronson Superstar - a hilarious 70s biography of Charles Bronson, features a great quote from Bronson on how he lost his virginity.
Tomorrow When the War Began - the first book in John Marsden's famous Australian speculative teen-fiction series.
The Van - Roddy Doyle's wonderful Booker-prize nominated novel about unemployment, fish n chips, and mid-life crisis.
Watership Down - one of my all-time favourite novels.
The Spy Who Came in From the Cold - John Le Carre's classic and influential spy novel.

The Infinitive of Go - inventive and pulpish hardcore science-fiction novella.
The Life of Pi - a wonderful and great novel, winner of the Booker Prize for 2003.
Grendel - a brilliant piece of fantastic literature well deserving of more attention.

I just re-read Perfume... fantastic, especially after the dull movie.

I didn't much like Life of Pi, even though I read it twice. It was OK, but not Booker Prize good. I'm reading God of Small Things right now, and it's so much weightier...

I guess I'm the opposite, I didn't really like God of Small Things, I felt Life of Pi was a lot more entertaining.
