Love Trolls,
By
This review is from: Troll: A Love Story (Paperback)
An excellent, quick read.Sinisalo keeps her story moving with efficiency and electricity of prose. The haunting of love, its captivity and confinement, are so eloquently explored. It is at once enchanting and horrific. I can only suggest to read this book.

Not at all like your Troll Doll,
By Frances J. Berg (Lake Oswego, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Troll: A Love Story (Paperback)
It's difficult to convince people that they should read this book. Begin by mentioning that it is about a gay man who adopts a troll, add that it is pretty erotic and they begin to notice things about YOU that they had never quite seen before, but yes....now that you mention it....hmmm.This is a kinky fairytale or like a dream gone over the edge.

What an odd and interesting novel,
By
This review is from: Troll: A Love Story (Paperback)
Troll is both more and less than you might think, reading the 'reviews' here on Amazon.The novel is about a photographer adopting a wild troll. In his world, trolls were discovered to be real in 1907 although encounters with them are so extremely rare that there is very little real cataloguing of habits, eating, mating, etc. Much of the book has excepts from poetry, stories, fables and well-faked scientific treatises. The story happens in between these excepts. The story itself is fascinating. Angel is a believable protagonist and, his gayness aside, completely sympathetic. He could be me, were I gay. If I met the troll Pessi, I'd have adopted him too. It is quite short. I finished it in 3 days of commuting to work and I'm having some trouble getting it out of my mind. If you are looking for an odd love story, this is a good one. If you are looking for straightforward narrative or action, it may not. Sinisalo reminds me of Joyce Carol Oates in her depiction of horror in everyday life and the likability of her characters. If you are an Oates fan, you will like this very much.
