Deyan Slavchev _edko — May 1st, 2007 (Two weeks before Ava was born) Not recommended! I went to Kepler's a week ago and almost came home with four new books. But I instituted an emergency policy on the spot -- only one book purchase allowed -- and I picked this one. It sounded so promising... I love page turners and this was touted as "wickedly funny", literary, and all that good stuff. But my high hopes were dashed! And I gave up after about 120 pages. In short, two narrators -- one who is supposed to be acerbically witty and the other who is ominously sinister. But I found neither to be particularly well done. I'm ruined by Arthur Phillips' "The Egyptologist" and Nabokov's "Pale Fire". The unreliable narrators in those novels are finely wrought, hilarious, and clever to boot. This book just felt common. Moving on... -- After a comment on my review by a "stranger" on Goodreads, I thought I'd give this book another try. -- October 6th, 2010 (Two weeks after David was born) Okay, I'm circling back to review this book more fully, after picking it up again after three years and actually finishing it. First of all, my review from three years ago was totally off-base and mildly embarrassing in retrospect. I don't know what business I had comparing one of the narrators of this novel to the "unreliable narrators" of "Pale Fire" and "The Egyptologist." My guess is that I was actually misusing the phrase "unreliable narrator," because "Gentlemen and Players" has no unreliable narrator. So, shame on you, Lauren of three years ago! I enjoyed this book after picking it up again. The rough plot is that someone is wreaking havoc at a crusty old-boy prep school in England. That somebody is one of a handful of new teachers, someone who has a history with the school -- harkening back to childhood when they were an outsider, the progeny of the school "porter." It's a sort of whodunit where the reader spends the novel guessing at this individual's identity. I actually knew from the beginning who the "bad guy" was, probably because three years ago when I first attempted to read the book and decided not to finish, I must have skimmed ahead (double shame on me!). But I enjoyed the book nonetheless. It isn't exactly deep, and for more insightful treatments of class at prep schools, I prefer "Prep" by Curtis Sittenfeld and "Old School" by Tobias Wolff. But this was a thriller and a decently-written one. I wouldn't classify it as "literary," because although the writing was steady, the themes weren't particularly insightful or deep.
