"Fascinating characters + constant surprises= a book I read quickly Few times I shook my head & said NO WAY- something like that couldn't happen & wondered if I'd decide the story was ridiculous but no- it kept surprising me & I couldn't help but really care about Brendan & what was going to happen. It's not going to find a place among my fave reads but it's a fascinating one for sure!"
"While I loved Malloy's "The Year of Ice," this melodramatic 2d novel is a disappointment. It's very plot-heavy, which is not a compliment (my head hurt from following all the various narrative threads, and Malloy's talent for sketching nuanced characters seems overwhelmed by the task of managing his plot)"
"I never did finish this book....it just wasn't very good in my opinion. I didn't like the way the story was told. I like all of Brian's other books, but just couldn't get into this one."
