X and Y is the third book in Australian author David Owen's Pufferfish police procedural series. Set in Hobart Australia, the main character is Tasmanian Police Detective Inspector Franz Heineken. He is nicknamed 'Pufferfish' for his prickly and sometimes poisonous manner. He is loyal to his mates, but openly despises his boss and many of his offsiders. The plot is kick-started with a violent death in a Chinese restaurant, which in turn links cleverly to a series a robberies and an impending drug shipment to Tasmania. When surveillance of the narcotics shipment goes pear-shaped, it becomes obvious the bad guys are one step ahead of the police due to insider information. With a bent copper or two in the midst, fingers start pointing at the Pufferfish. From there the story becomes a battle for Pufferfish Heineken to stay alive and clear his name. And by eventually taking into account the unknown X and Y factors (you will understand at the end), Heineken exposes the police moles and in turn solves the crimes. David Owen has again come up with a clever plot. Evidence is exposed at the right pace and the story cascades with each piece of new information, before cleverly tying together at the end - with of course, Pufferfish Heineken at the core. The Pufferfish is a meaty character. As the reader you are privy to his personal thoughts, and you get a feel for the sexual tension between himself and Sergeant Hedda Andover. He is cunning, enigmatic, funny, and is the kind of person you definitely want to be on the right side of. This book continues an enjoyable and intriguing series by David Owen. I once again enjoyed the pace, the Tasmanian Police characters and the setting. I recommend it to police procedural buffs, particularly those with a penchant for Australian crime fiction.

John Grogan is an excellent writer/storyteller. His tales of growing up in a strict Catholic family in Detroit suburbs is humorous at times, nail-biting at others, and each chapter leaves me wanting more. What talent--I'm glad I picked up this book. I ended up bawling near the end, but don't regret reading this book. Grogan's writing is inspiring.

great style. good story. strangely engrossing. not the best goddamn book i ever read for Chrissake, but worth the lousy bit of time it took to read the goddamn thing.

I'm not sure whether to rate this three or four stars. The last quarter of the book is extremely good. The rest of it is mostly set up for that final piece and to get you to read the rest of the series (and it works, mind). Roth mixes some new ideas into themes from much older novels. It's a fresh take on the right to think for oneself, and a new perspective on what defines us.
The novel is, in my opinion, a masterpiece from the point of view that it manages to play very well with the reader's feelings and attitude towards the main character according to who is telling the story - whereas in the first part you almost feel sympathetic and you somewhat understand the way of thinking of the character and his actions, when you get to read the journal passages the girl writes you discover how horrified she was of everything and how awful she felt throughout the whole time she was captive. From a psychological point of view, it is the first book i read that actually makes you enter the mind of the character and makes you understand him only to change your perspective to 180 degrees afterwards. After reading, you might even feel a bit shocked that you got to agree with what is, after all, a kidnapper. Still, at the same time it makes you wander what is normality after all and who defines it. Also - how can you convince someone of their insanity when their actions are perfectly justified for them?

Acı verici bir şekilde bunun üstesinden gelmeye çalışıyorum. Birkaç sayfa alıyorum. Daha hafif bir şey lehine koy. Sonra sık sık geri dönün.
