Title: Fine "Literary Thriller"
Product review: Hospital has done a fine job grasping hold of this reader and not letting him go. There were a few aspects I didn't like -- all those quotations from other authors -- Camus, Defoe, Borges, etc. -- at the start of sections (Why do academics and literary types like to do this? Do they hope to bask in reflected glory?)And there was some awkward "fine writing" that broke the illusion and deflected from the story and exploration of the characters. But the story is powerful and the story-telling quite strong. Once involved, it was hard to put this book down. If you crave good writing applied to a strong plot, you will definitely like this novel.
