Frank Tuohy, The Times Literary Supplement

Darkness Visible, it must be said at once, restores a living force among us . . . An intensity of vision without parallel. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Review

A vision of elemental reality so vivid we seem to hallucinate the scenes . . . [Golding] emerges like Merlin the wizard to cast a new spell . . . Darkness Visible is magic. -The New York Times Book Review

A brilliantly spooky novel . . . Written with great insight and a surprising humor, it is a thorough pleasure to read. -The Atlantic Monthly

5.0 out of 5 stars A wildly imaginative parable about madness and terrorism., Sep 19 1999
By Jmasley1@aol.com (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Darkness Visible (Paperback)
Golding is in top form in this story about the gradual descent into terrorism by twin siisters; and an unlikely "savior" that comes in the form of a man deformed by a bombing raid. Again, Golding proves that creating a mystery amidst thoughtful social critcism leads to a great and imaginiative story. It is dark, strange and stays with you for weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent perspective on how to rate the value of life, Aug 19 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Darkness Visible (Paperback)
Golding's vision of mans dark side and how the fight between good and evil is won by restraint.

In order to get the whole picture the reader needs to submerge into the lifes of all the characters and then pull back away from it all. First then it is possible to see the story and how it unfolds. It is complex and requires patience but the reward is worth it and can be rather refreshing.

I do recommend it
