Review of 'A scanner darkly' on 'Goodreads'
3 étoiles
I have read a few books written by and about druggies and drugs, think William S. Burroughs and Irvine Welsh, and I have largely enjoyed them even when I did not believe them to be good works. The thing with A Scanner Darkly is that I found the writing neither authentic nor original and the story quite mediocre. Yet, I do not honestly dislike it, and although I would not say I enjoyed it in the sense that it is a book written by a druggie about druggies, there is a certain other atmosphere to it that makes it work - as much as I can say that it works. I would also note that I do not believe one really gets anything extra out of this book as compared to the movie based on it, and I would recommend the movie over the book.
