1.0étoiles sur 5 It Made Me Think I'd Lost MY Mind!, Juil 13 2003
Par Suzanne Lavender "Euphoria" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Loon Lake (Paperback)
This was one of the most maddening books I ever had the misfortune to waste my money on.

Yes, it was challenging. In fact, challenging is an understatement. Loon Lake was the first book I ever gave up on before getting even halfway through. I had absolutely no idea what was going on and, after a while, I simply did not care anymore.

I highly recommend that you go to the library and borrow this book to see whether or not it's for you before purchasing it!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Is Doctorow playing with our minds?, Sep 29 2002
Par Tom Bruce (Brooklyn , NY) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Loon Lake (Paperback)
Doctorow makes Loon Lake a much more difficult read than it needs to be. He keeps changing tense on us. He keeps switching from first to third person narrative. He keeps inserting bad poetic verse. We often don't know who is speaking, sometimes even what about. Is the narrator of the moment in a dream? A drug induced state? As looney as a loon? But in the end, Doctorow sweeps us up, and when Joe Patterson, nee Korzenioski, is up against it, we feel his pain; the tension is almost unbearable. We want good things to happen to Joe and Clara...and when he looks out the police station window to see her being taken away we want to scream with him. Then we want to see good things happen to Joe and Sandy, and maybe they are, or not. Doctorow keeps is in suspense until the last two pages when it is all laid out for us. And it all makes sense. It is a challenging read, but I'm glad I went down this trail. It won't be my favorite Doctorow read, but it has made a lasting impression.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Challenging but extremely satisfying work., Avril 20 1999
This review is from: Loon Lake (Paperback)
Like all Doctorow, Loon Lake tells an amazingly interesting tale with vibrant, often beautiful, sometimes brutal detail. Even though few readers will be able to relate directly to the plotline (set in pre-WWII USA), Doctorow (as usual) manages to uncover universally human feeling despite the strange adventures the story depicts. A great work, but be warned: the switching from first to third person, tense shifts, and interspersion of poetry makes this a challenging work, but well worth the effort. I give it 4 instead of 5 stars only because, while great, the book is a notch below Billy Bathgate.
