Ladataan... HaitekstiTekijä: Steven Hall
  
Kirjan kansi (suomalainen versio ainakin) kertoo jo paljon itse kirjasta; Se on taiteellinen sekä juonellisesti että kirjaimellisesti kuvien luomisessa. "Haiteksti" on omalaatuinen ja kekseliäs, joskis loppuratkaisu jaksaa ärsyttää minua aina ja ikuisesti. (  ) Rateli | Feb 19, 2010 |  Pitkästä aikaa todella hyvä kirja, jota voi suositella hyvillä mielin. Loistavaa kieltä ja mukaansatempaava juoni. Luin tämän alkuvuodesta 08, joten voisi pian lukea uudelleen! ( ) Katja_V | Oct 25, 2008 | Outo tarina, joka alun hienoisen tyhjäkäynnin jälkeen imaisee mukaansa. Kirjan loppu ei aivan hirveästi miellyttänyt, mutta se hai, se oli hieno kaikin puolin. Kirjaa suosittelisin noin 30-vuotiaille, tuntui siltä kuin se olisi teille kirjoitettu. Mielikuvitukseni ei olekaan laukannut näin sitten teinivuosien lukunautintojen. ( ) Sarri | Jul 29, 2008 | näyttää 3/3
 The Raw Shark Texts manages to reach the loftiest goal of speculative fiction: making its outlandish situations illuminate real human emotion. When the second Sanderson begins to share his previous incarnation's affecting grief over his lost love Clio, the concept of a memory-eating shark takes on additional layers of significance. Comparisons with The Matrix, Fight Club and Memento have been thrown around, and it's telling that all these action-thrillers were on the big screen. The prose is often self-important and less brilliant than the situations it describes, and many of the story elements dogmatically adhere to Hollywood conventions. But Hall borrows a number of effective techniques from film. A metaphysical book such as this easily could have become dense and inaccessible, but Hall's unrelenting focus on visual storytelling keeps it lucid. The book fully succeeds in exploring the tenuous hold we have on our sense of self, which is, after all, only "a concept wrapped in skin and chemicals."  The rest of Hall's ambitiously conceived but irritatingly self-serious novel concerns Sanderson's "Jaws"-like quest to put an end to the shark before it eats him, punctuated by a stock romantic plot and pictorial games that include a flip-book shark attack. Oddly, given all the textual high jinks, Hall's weakness for ending chapters on cliffhangers suggests that his book may actually wish it were a film.  Quirky even for metafiction--the novel includes abstract diagrams and flipbooks--Hall's debut can be confusing. But when he hits his stride, particularly during a climactic manversus-shark chase on the high seas, Texts is exhilarating. B+ Though Hall's prose is flabby and the plethora of text-based sight gags don't always work (a 50-page flipbook of a swimming shark, for instance), the end result is a fast-moving cyberpunk mashup of Jaws, Memento and sappy romance that's destined for the big screen. First things first, stay calm." So reads a cryptic letter early in The Raw Shark Texts, but it's difficult not to get worked up by Steven Hall's dizzying debut novel. Already the object of a bidding war among filmmakers, the book grabs readers with a series of set-ups reminiscent of everything from Jaws to Memento.
Eric Sanderson wakes up in a place he doesn't recognise, unable to remember who he is. Attacked by a force he cannot see and confronted with memories he cannot ignore, Eric discovers he is being hunted by a psychic predator, a shark. This creature may exist only in his mind, but it soon starts making some very real appearances in his world. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
