2.0étoiles sur 5 Holy Fools is a Holy Mess, Oct. 9 2009
Par R. A. Kerr (Canmore, AB Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Holy Fools: A Novel (Paperback)
This was chosen by my book club otherwise I never would have finished it. Unsympathetic main characters, annoying plot holes, a shallow 21st century worldview instead of a semi-authentic 17th century worldview, an anti-climatic climax, blah blah blah. My list of grievances goes on. The premise is really intriguing, though, which makes the disappointment all the greater. Save yourself the bother and pick something else. People who like her writing say her books about food are much better.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The moral of the story, Déc 12 2006
This review is from: Holy Fools: A Novel (Paperback)
The elaborate prose,intricate plot and vacillating first person structure keep the reader intrigued and entertained while the author sets up her body blow against organized religion. Plot and character development progress in lockstep and continue to the very end of this suspense ladened tale. In the end only the atheists emerge with any virtue while the 'believers' are exposed as dangerous fools at best and mendacious rogues at worst. Had Harris set this tale in the Islamic world there would surely be a fatwa directed at her by now.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Just okay, Juil 28 2005
Par C. Brown "English teacher" (Cambridge, MA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Holy Fools: A Novel (Paperback)
I'm not sure what to make of this book. Although it's set in the 1600s, the language is modern (Harris discusses this choice at the end of the book but I'm still not satisfied) and the motivations and actions of the people are also very modern (I hope that makes sense). It wasn't just the 12 year old leader or the weird sexual behaviour of the nuns (which I think is just comic really) that threw me in the reading of this book. I just didn't GET IT really. Were we supposed to sympathize with the main character? She's not very sympathetic. Are we supposed to forgive LeMerle? He's not very forgiveable. Are we to believe that all nuns are sexually and/or emotionally deprived to the point where they make absolute asses of themselves when a man comes on the scene? Apparently so. Was this Harris' opportunity to take shots at Catholicism? Anyway, it wasn't ALL bad. I enjoy Harris' writing style (but this one was harder to follow as characters have multiple names and sometimes I didn't know whose thoughts I was reading) and I found the antics of the nuns quite amusing. Not great - just okay.
