4.0étoiles sur 5 Just a Little Too Poetic for This Reader's Taste, Jui 12 2008
Par Teddy (Richmond, BC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Fugitive Pieces (Audio CD)
The book opens with Jakob Beer as a seven-year-old child hiding in the bog in order to escape the Nazis. His family did not escape and were killed. Jakob was found by Athos Roussos, who smuggled him out of Poland and brought young Jakob to live with him in Greece. After the war, they immigrated to Canada. Jakob later becomes a poet and translator. The story is told by Ben, who discovered Jakob's diaries, a man whose parents are Holocaust survivors.

This is primarily a story about memory, love, and loss. Anne Michaels is an accomplished poet, which is really demonstrated in this, her first novel. Every sentence is carefully crafted poetry. Her descriptions have great depth and make the reader see the great beauty and great horror.

This book is not a fast read. I found myself having to stop and ponder a lot. This was both negative and positive for me. I am not a huge fan of poetry, so in that sense this book was too lyrical for me. However, by being forced to stop and ponder I found some wonderful pearls.

I saw the movie version, which is what prompted me to read this book. The movie was a gem and I loved it. Sometimes it takes an overly lyrical novel to make a great film. It is very rare that I like the film version better than a book, but this is one of those cases.

I'm glad I read the book. I got to explore the characters more deeply. Now I want to see the movie again.

5.0étoiles sur 5 something to think about, Déc 1 2003
This review is from: Fugitive Pieces (Audio CD)
I am a teenager and I understand this book so I'm sure the people that call it boring or "flawed" didn't really think about it very hard. I have heard many accusations that this book was flawed or sloppy in the plotline. First of all, how can a book, especially one so poetic and deep, be flawed? It's like saying Picasso made a mistake in one of his paintings. If you see the plotline as being broken then you missed the point of the book. It takes you beyond the story, or at least it is supposed to in my opinion. The poetry of the book is a window to the deep meanings of the book. For example, the relationship between death and memory. The characters and storyline are only there to display the meaning. If you read this book, it is for the meaning, not the story, though the story is very moving. The best thing about Fugitive Pieces is that it is NOT TYPICAL. It's creative, emotional, and original; the ingredients for a true classic.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The Most Amazing Book I've Ever Read, Fév 1 2009
Par Clyo Beck (Tarpon Springs, FL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fugitive Pieces (Paperback)
Anne Michael's beautifully written Fugitive Pieces is in a class all by itself. I drank it in, like an elixir.

My husband, who pursued a doctorate in philosophy and cannot be bothered reading most fiction, picked it up afterwards, finished it, and declared it exceptional.

Somehow Michaels has managed to write page-turning prose that has the flavor of poetry. This author is, indeed, an artist.
