So I finally finished this book on the weekend! Absolute garbage! Ok, so maybe I am uncultured and missed the subtle beauty in the imagery of the prose, but I thought it was crap, ok? I can cope with a book not having a clear outcome, I can cope with violence and sex in a book, but some of it was just completely out of left field and made no sense.
It just went on and on about nothing, about characters that would turn up, say something mystifying and then disappear, maybe to be referred to later in the book, maybe not. I admit that part of the reason it was tricky to follow is that a lot of the names were Danish, Inuit or Greenlandic, so it was difficult to determine masculine and feminine, but I think if a book grabs you enough, you manage to work around that, but I just could not manage it in this book.
I think it turned up in a pile of books given to me by a friend who was moving house. If anyone would like it, please take it off my hands and see if you can make any sense of it!

Heh, congrats. It's okay to give up on books you're not going to get anything from (especially when they have a movie you can rush out and hire/buy!)
Hey did you see how beautiful it was outside today!
Ha ha! I gave you that book. I never finished it either.
I would like to clarify, I DID actually finish it! I don't know if this makes me a fool or a hero!!!
Yes, it was beautiful outside yesterday! I was lucky enough to be near a window, rather than in the bowels of the repository. (it's ok, you can laugh at the fact that I used the word bowels and a word that sounds like suppository in the same sentence! I did!)
DX it to me Annie :)
