Loading... The Marriage of Sticks (Tom Doherty Associates Book)by Jonathan CarrollSeries: Crane's View Trilogy (2)
This book came so highly recommended, and yet it left me a bit cold. It is an interesting theme and certainly well written, but things didnt quite fit, and the story seems to jump around and leave lots of gaps. Perhaps I am tougher with this book than I would have been had I not had such high expectations Possible Spoiler Alert: I never got into this book- it highly disturbed me. Mostly I can't deal with thinking about post-death stuff. I also never got into the character- I didn't like her. The only thing I remember liking was that she seemed to be from Darien (I didn't like that, per-say, it was just interesting). Jonathan Carroll's books are always a little strange, and this one is no different. It begins in the style of a romance (chick-lit), but about half-way through the few odd coincidences in the beginning rapidly reveal a more bizarre chain of events. Carroll returning to a favorite theme of his, that of the physic vampire. Great book. |
