Livro lido em 2008, considerei-o simplesmente uma releitura triste mas inolvidável do poema de whitman. Um grande romance só que inferior à "Morte vem Buscar o Arcebispo". Veja notas no meu blog
I did not like this book. At all. Not one bit. I cannot find one minute piece of redeeming value in it. The sad thing is that I expected to enjoy it; as one of the book review blogs I read listed it as one of their favorite books they will probably read all year. First of all, the narrator(s) of the book are a group of men, who grew up together and had one of their classmates disappear while they were in high school. And then they were obsessed with her the rest of their life (or at least for the rest of the book). So early on in the book there is all this sexual, horny high school boy stuff. And the whole book is just dark. And depressing. And for the whole book they are just guessing what they think happened to her. But they don't actually know. And they **SPOILER ALERT** never actually find out! So the whole book felt like a waste. Plus the book was not written chronologically, so it was jumping all over the place and I was so confused. It would always be saying "but this is 5 years before such and such" and "10 years after such and such" sometimes referencing things they hadn't fully explained. ARG. Anyway, hated this book. Least favorite book ever. I only read the whole thing because it was only 240 pages and I probably invested less than 4 hours of my life into it. Worth it to be able to write negative review. DO NOT READ THIS.
