Giller Prize ??, Juil 4 2008
How this book could have won the "ScotiaBankCorporateLabelOfTheYear" Giller Prize is beyond me. Am I supposed to sympathize with any of these characters? Or is the point of the novel to make me despise them, two dimensional card board cutouts, all equally? The prose is overblown and just made me cringe. Occasional nice bits of imagery and a certain feel for the north didn't do enough to overcome the cringe-worthiness of this endeavour. Story telling? God no, a collection of emotions spread out over many, many pages.
Maybe it won the prize for the title? Late Nights on Air. Good title.
I'm giving it one star because it won the Giller Prize, and didn't deserve it. Oh yeah, and because I hated it. I picked up Oil! by Upton Sinclair immediately after throwing this down and was blown away by the quality of the story telling compared to Late Nights on Air.

Late nights on air, Déc 28 2008
Not worthy a prize, poorly styled and due to that misses the message of the book. A waste of time
It is a pity that the Giller prize commitee can not do better on their choises.
