SWELL Tekijä: Corwin Ericson
This started off strong for me & then foundered a bit. I'd like to revisit it at some point - it definitely wasn't helped by the fact that I put it down to read another book so there was a two-week gap between reading the first third of it & reading the rest.

jlweiss | 3 muuta kirja-arvostelua | Apr 23, 2021 | Stylish but empty. So much promise that wasn't delivered on with any depth.

alexezell | 3 muuta kirja-arvostelua | Nov 14, 2018 | Deeply, deeply weird, and completely fascinating. Orange mostly has things done to him, rather than does things, which slows down the middle section some, but it comes together in the end.

rrainer | 3 muuta kirja-arvostelua | Apr 30, 2013 | I love the first line: “From my bunk, I found myself staring at the weepy ink of the Blue Oyster Cult tattoo that stained Donny’s buttock.” Now how could this book not end up a classic? It starts off strong with an original story and there were a few occasions I laughed out loud, but it gets mired in too much silliness, which among other things includes a cell phone network based on migrating whales. It’s frustrating that the storyline of the Korean smugglers and their mysterious package doesn’t really go anywhere, and about midway through the book was no longer funny or interesting.
Quotes:
On cell phones; hey I’m waiting for the Whale Network too:
“When I answered, she told me how proud she was that I’d finally got a phone and was impressed I had reception. I told her it was a new network, and tried to imply that I’d been on top of the whole cell thing for years and was just waiting for the technology to meet my exacting standards. I didn’t mention the whales.”
On children:
“Children, of course, are the new gods. All must be made respectable and earnest before them. Persons such as myself were forbidden to enter their sacred groves. Only their parents – their parents – could interpret the cryptic commandments they uttered, but we all had to obey.”… (lisätietoja)
