Critic Reviews:
"[An] intriguing parable...fascinating...disturbingly enigmatic....Mason keeps the reader off guard and guessing, and...there's a terrific payoff, a riveting climactic scene." (Kirkus)
"This highly anticipated second novel...doesn't disappoint. Once again Mason employs his unusual, remarkable prose style to tell of a journey of discovery....[he] invests his story with all the power of a fable." (Booklist)
Members Reviews:
not so good
I read the piano tuner, Daniel Masons first novel a few years back when it first came out and thought it was alright. He has a the talent for discriptive writing and I liked being in the burmese jungle, though I thought story was a little weak and didn't really care for the main character.
Well this book is worse. The premise sounded interesting, so I listened. When it started the main character had a power or ability and this is what drew me in, in the first place. Then early in the book the power went away and we were left with a character that just wandered around and again I didn't care what happened.
The author still has a knack for discriptive writing but when what you are discribing is drout, poverty and slums it just didn't do it for me.
The upside is the reader was alright, I quess.
Expected ...something
The writer doesn't do much with the characters except to tell us what happens, aimlessly going nowhere. No hope, no reason for the reader to be empathic.
The narrator is top notch. I'll search for other books she narrates.
