Critiques et Commentaires

Oh no. I started another book without finishing the previous one(s). But it's good. A bit messy, but good, lots of interesting ideas and points in here. Two chapters in, i hope i can keep the momentum, and then bounce back to Doctorow's The Internet Con, which feels more succinct and clear, but also more restricted in the area it covers. Interesting to read these two side-by-side.

We got this in the mail , a nice gift from a friend who reviewed it thus: Have read through this twice now. Think you might enjoy it.

That's a pretty strong and intriguing review. Colour me interested!

Great Turtle stuff, dark, brutal and sad, but with a streak of optimism running through that carries the whole story.

In a way, the story is an obvious conclusion to the fun and youthful Turtles of our youth: only one remains, and must stop the evil at hand, that happens to be the grandson of the original Shredder. And take revenge. And maybe redemption and self-forgiveness?

Just got it and started reading it. The first 25 pages feel like a sharp summary of recent blog posts / articles of Doctorow's, which have been in my opinion some his best prose so far. But maybe more to the point, with fewer clever analogies and witty turns of phrases. Off to a good start.

Good stuff, fun to get more details on background/parallel events after watching the TV series.
