Since I last posted, I have completed another category! Themed Titles - Animals Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall This is what I think is described as meta-fiction. It is very strange and hard to describe, but I enjoyed it. There is a shark in the book, but it isn't a real shark but a ...

Congratulations on your 75! I've had The Raw Shark Texts on the shelf for over a year and not got round to it (not that this is unusual at the moment - my acquisition is way out of control), but I'm glad you thought it was good. The Maintenance of Headway sounds interesting too - I've ...

The Raw Shark Texts intrigued me when I first saw it.

#154: I read Raw Shark Texts last year and some parts I thought were brilliant and others I was going "Huh?" Overall, I liked the book quite a lot.

... the descriptions of Willard. It was funny but oddly touching. Perhaps I will read more of his stuff afterall. 73. Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall Described as being a combination of Jaws and the Matrix, I didn't let that put me off. It was one of the those books that I just about ...

Two equally strange but completely different books added to the read pile. The Raw Shark Texts uses the familiar to go to somewhere new. Starts off like Memento and ends up like Jaws. A man wakes up not knowing who or where he is. He finds his driving license and a note that he's apparently ...

Having finished off The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall I picked up Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. Two very different but equally strange stories. I've read that they're trying to adapt Raw Shark into a movie but I really can't see it being anything like the book if they do. ...

1. The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall I've picked this book from a second hand store. I thought this was a great novel and have immediately loaned it to friends.

15. The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall (tbr pile) - I still can't decide if this was wildly original or highly derivative, well in fairness its a mix of both but a great read which I would recommend giving a go.

38. Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall

I like Auster a lot too. Have you read IN THE COUNTRY OF LAST THINGS? I'm about a third of the way through RAW SHARK TEXTS and so far I'm quite impressed. Original notion, well-executed. It's helping keep this flu-thing bearable...

27. The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall. Recommended to me by a friend, and the bastard is always right. Definitely one of the top books of the year....of course it's only April. I think the others on this list are The Great Shark Hunt and War Letters. It's a bit of a mind fuck, and I think ...

Kirconnell, book shopping can cure any ill. I've finally gotten started on a new book - The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall. I'm hoping it will be a quick read because all that book shopping has made my TBR pile grow and grow.

... If you're not into capes and tights, check out Maus and Palestine by Joe Sacco. If you can find them, back issues of RAW offer a wonderful sampling of global comix artists and punk comix artists. The New Comix Anthology has a good collection, including Spiegelman, Clowes, Chris Ware ...

TeacherDad, are you talking about The Raw Shark Texts? I had to give up on this one too. For a thriller, it wasn't really grabbing my attention. And you're right, it is quite strange. When I plow through the rest of the books I've started, I plan to return to it..but for right now I'm not ...

tried to read The Raw Shark Texts but got too confused; it's a strange book, speculative philosophical-- I would try again when I have the time and attention to devote to it...

I read The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall last year. I am interested in seeing what your take is on Haiteksti or is it the same book? The Touchstone brings up the same thing for both.

Thank you both! :) So far Haiteksti is very interesting book. I haven't read text like this for a long time.

... be a little too much for me but no one stops me trying! :) The first book I started in this year is Steven Hall's Haiteksti.

Hey Alcottacre I was bemused by the Raw Shark Texts it made very little sense to me, but I think it was worth the read just for the relief I felt at about page 350 when I got to skip 30 pages because of the drawing of the approaching "Conceptual Shark"!. On reflection, a positive point would be ...

... cerievans1: Hope the eyes are doing better! I cannot imagine not being able to read for any length of time. Regarding The Raw Shark Texts, I pretty much had the same reaction as you. Some of the book I was just going Huh? Overall though, I think it is worth the read. How did you like ...

... better though I musn't overdo it! I'm really not too sure about Steven Hall and am quite bemused by the novel The Raw Shark Texts at the moment; I think it is intentionally written in a disjointed way.

Having just read The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall and loved it, I'll certainly be looking out for more by this author. Plus another recent corker was Sinema: The Northumberland Massacre by Rod Glenn

Received The raw shark texts by Steven Hall by mail today. Waiting for one more book and then I'm not allowed to buy books for some time.

I've put The Raw Shark Texts to one side for now - it was making my brain hurt a bit. So I'm now enjoying The resurrectionist, as well as Creating Web Pages for Dummies because I want to learn how. And I'm a dummie.

... lonely in the dark. Still doing its thing for the person who started it up long, long after they've gone." -Steven Hall, The Raw Shark Texts p.101-102

The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall p.6 "Yes."Yes? It was difficult to know what to say. It was difficult to say anything.

It is after April 30th so I gave in to temptation and purchased Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall. I had heard good things about it on another one of the groups here on Librarything and since it was on the remainders table at Barnes & Noble I purchased it for $6.00. Surely that is not too much to ...

... Channel from the shortlist. I've seen lots of positive reviews of The Carhullan Army, and mixed reviews of both The Raw Shark Texts and The Red Men. Like you say, I find it hard to believe they thought Baxter's a better book than Brasyl, or even The Yiddish Policemen's Union.

... Girl is YA, but it's very clearly YA sci-fi, so that makes a tentative four. Of the other two, I don't know about The Raw Shark Texts, but I do know that The Carhullan Army was submitted by the publisher without the judging panel having to 'call it in', so you could suggest that, by ...

The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall. Weird, but in a good way. Post-modern, but not in an annoying way. Halfway through. The Last Full Measure by Jeff Shaara. Just got back from Gettysburg yesterday, and I want to 'finish' the Civil War and fill in my mental bio of Chamberlain. Just ...

... Let Me Go, and I'll probably read those in the next few weeks (even though I'm currently in the middle of a non-1001 book, The Raw Shark Texts). Before the month is done, depending on how work goes, I'm also hoping to knock off A Confederacy of Dunces and Rebecca. Busy busy!

I'm enjoying your reviews very much. Will even buy The Raw Shark Texts on your recommendation.

22. The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall Wow! This was an incredible book. I loved it . . . but . . . I'm still not 100% sure what it was all about. It begins with Eric waking up/regaining consciousness with no memories. It ends in an ocean of memories. What comes in the middle is just ...

I can be rather a harsh critic of first-novels, but despite a few rough spots, Steven Hall's The Raw Shark Texts kept me glued to the page all the way through. It's very smart, very inventive and somehow I didn't even mind the sappy love story so much, but all quibbles aside, it's still ...
