I'm a big fat copy cat, just saying what every other review said, and yet it's accurate: this book isHouse of Leaves +Neverwhere +Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind +JawsI would also throw in just a smidgen of Being John Malkovich.And I have already cast the movie- James McAvoy and Lizzy Caplan....
I have to hand it to the goodreads recommendations engine, this was a really good one! It was recommended to me on the basis that I liked The End of Mr. Y, which is one of my absolute favourites.And in terms of weirdness The Raw Shark Texts come up a close second. I was hoping for a bit more of a [...
Esta es una de esas lecturas confusas pero que uno termina amando. Dentro de todo el enredo hay partes realmente buenas, otras un poco ambiciosas pero funciona muy bien.Mi bajo puntaje es porque en ebook me costó trabajo entrar de lleno en lo innovativo del libro. Definitivamente lo leeré en versión...
On one hand, this book was very unique. On the other hand, it's very familiar in many respects -- pieces and parts of stories, movies, ideas that you already know, but shaken up & presented in a different way, a form individual to this story. I'm glad I read it. There's a lot to ponder here.... An e...
(There might be very minor spoilers here but I doubt they will make any sense to you if you haven't read the book, so read on, unles you are uber-paranoid about spoilers) “The Raw Shark Texts”. It’s supposed to be literary psychological thriller where Jorge Luis Borges meets Danielewski meets Matrix...
10.You are a book, The Raw Shark Texts. You are an unstable narrative. You are a story of loss and love and memory, of a broken heart and a broken mind. You are a mystery; you are a postmodern text; you are equal parts Burroughs and Palahniuk and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. You are a firs...
Hmm...this may go up or down in stars. Early on I thought I was reading one of the best books I've picked up in quite some time, but toward the start of the second half it lost its edge. By the end it was so, well the word "campy" comes to mind, that I was not sure if I liked it or hated it. I'll ha...
***Mild spoilers***A fun novel for those who like science fiction, and probably not at all for those who don't. This is Being John Malkovich meets Memento meets John Varley's "Press Enter." It's enjoyable, pastiche-y, and brings literally brings ideas to life. I like the conceptual shark very much, ...
The Raw Shark Texts was released back in 2007 by first time U.K. author, Steven Hall. In some circles, it’s been referred to as some bizarre cross between Jaws and The Matrix with perhaps a little Da Vinci Code thrown in there for good measure. It follows the story of Eric Saunderson who awakes on ...
