2.0�toiles sur 5 A Bizarre Read..., Mai 31 2006

Par	N. Jeannotte "nikkij73" (Victoria, British Columbia Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Vernon God Little (Paperback)

I don't have a whole lot to say about this book as it wasn't a great read for me. I found it very tedious and while I know the author was going for a certain theme or type, I just found the style of writing irritating. I enjoyed the end to see the justice, on occassion does prevail...this was a book club selection and I'm glad to be done! Onwards and upwards!

5.0�toiles sur 5 Astonishing! Among the Best!, F�v 21 2005

Par	Kimberley Azmus - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Vernon God Little (Paperback)

In the grand tradition of Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer," S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders," J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye," and Rikki Lee Travolta's "My Fractured Life" D.B.C. Pierre has created a astonishing story based in scheme and off centered sensibilities of unbalanced youth. "Vernon God Little" raps us up in the world of fifteen year old Vernon Little of Maritiro, Texas in an adventure to rival the mishaps of Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye" or Hinton's "The Outsiders" but with the dark humor of Twain's classic "Tom Sawyer" and Travolta's modern "My Fractured Life." The subtlety of the dark humor may be lost on some, but for those who enjoy such play in the dark recesses of the mind, "Vernon God Little" will be a dark delight.

5.0�toiles sur 5 A timely delivered satire, absolutely incredible!, F�v 8 2005

Par Un client

This review is from: Vernon God Little (Paperback)

I don't think the timing of this book could be better with Bush's crusade in the middle east and all. This is a wonderfully written and laugh out loud hillarious novel about a young man accused of some horrible crimes without any real evidence other than media spin and mudslinging. It reminds me of certain current events (hint: where are the weapons of mass destruction?) and it makes me smile a satisfied grin for exposing the vanity of American pop culture. An incredible first effort from Pierre, and a must read! Even if the satire is over your head or it offends you, the comedy and imagery alone make it worth while. A worthy winner of Booker!
