игорь солвин anemon — Good thing I read it after the Davinci Code because the structure is so similar. I enjoyed the sacred vs. profane dialectic which started making the book interesting about half way through. This is good for an airplane ride.

Mandeep Sharma _rtistmandeep — Doug and I were at our local video rental place (TLA), not looking for anything in particular, when we happened across a copy of Terry Gilliam's movie adaptation of this book. Neither of us had seen it (or heard anything about it), and Doug is a big Terry Gilliam fan, so we rented it. The movie was odd and disturbing, but the story was strangely compelling, so when I saw that it was based on a novel by Mitch Cullin, I thought I'd pick it up at the library if we had a copy. And we did, so I did. As it turns out, the movie is extremely faithful to the book, although the movie downplays the creepy child-molestation stuff. There is really no way to fully explain all this without providing a bunch of spoilers, so I apologize in advance. The novel is about Jeliza-Rose, a young girl (somewhere between 9 and 12 years old) who has never gone to school or interacted with kids her own age. Her parents are heroin addicts, and when her mother dies of a methadone overdose, her aging musician father whisks Jeliza-Rose off to a crumbling Texas farmhouse to hide out. Unfortunately for Jeliza-Rose, Dad soon kicks the bucket himself, and while he slowly decomposes in his rocking chair, the little girl is left to wander the desolate prairie with only her collection of Barbie doll heads for company. She soon meets her only neighbors -- a recluse named Dell and her younger brother, Dickens, whose epilepsy has been treated with brain surgery, leaving him a child in a man's body. And it just gets weirder...and weirder...and weirder from there. (Jeliza-Rose ends up having a creepy semi-relationship with Dickens that was quite cringe-inducing.) I've read plenty of dark and macabre stuff, so my unease with the story doesn't spring from that...rather, it's the discomfort of imagining a kid having to go through this sort of nightmare. Jeliza-Rose has no knowledge of what normal, or even moderately dysfunctional, life could be like, and even though it's suggested that she's "rescued" in the end, you get the sense that her world is always going to be populated with preserved bog people and submarine captains and devious doll heads. I enjoyed Cullin's writing -- his tone was very simple and straightforward, which is to be expected when the narrator is a child, I think, and I'd be interested to see if his other novels have a similar voice.

Saint Technologies saintech — I can see why this book won an award for it's writing--vivid descriptions of India. Interesting story--great character development. I never want to visit India based on the descriptions.
