Review: Zone One

Zone One by Colson Whitehead
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Too clever by half. A dense frustrating read that was tough to get through.

Not recommended.

Meh. This book needed some editing. Unrealistic even for fiction.

Review: A Delicate Truth

A Delicate Truth by John le Carré
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Always a struggle to get through Le carre. No different here. Really proves the fact that the British and Americans are two people separated by a common language.

As for the plot. Pretty good. Ends badly.

Review: A Slight Trick of the Mind

A Slight Trick of the Mind by Mitch Cullin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A sad story about an ancient Sherlock Holmes who has lost almost everything.

Typically not the type of book I read. Very sentimental and subtle. However, as a sherlockian, I enjoyed it. Very plausible and fitting description of what the twilight days of Sherlock Holmes might be.

A film version is in the works staring Ian mckellen.
