Review title: Time plays with the Mind
Product review: Enjoy bites of the life of Ruby Lennox and some of her more colourful relatives.Both flippantly realistic and romantically idealised, the various competing agendas of the stories, the telling of the stories, the imaginings of the stories, can seem like a confused tumble of impressions, ideas and certainty (all the more suspect because it seems so certain - and how can Ruby know?)The effect: 1) You can read it and be superficially entertained. 2) You can start to question the reliability of the narrator Ruby (the book I think, is an attempt at self-reflexivity). 3) You can start questioning not only the narrator Ruby, but that of any story told. 4) You can reflect on yourself and the way memory and truth (and untruth) collide, mesh, gel, repel. 5) Also, as an added bonus, it tests what a "good" reader you are - did you get all the clues, did you see that, Ruby TOLD you, why didn't you get it? Perhaps a comment on reading as a whole?Really a mind bending experience.
