So long, there was a nod to its longest in the novel itself once its revealed as a “memoir.” I liked it well enough. Not as much as Wellness. It didn’t connect with me totally, but it was enjoyable to read, if not completely credible. 4.5 or 5 This book is nuts but I loved it. Jumping from modern day back to the late 60s and early 70s to explore one man's life, family history and the people in his orbit. Great characterizations of a guy maybe in the middle of a personal crisis, a depressed guy hiding from life in a video game, a total airhead evil mastermind college girl, and many others. I think it's probably the most enjoyable book I've read this year. Couldn't decide on 3 or 4 stars for this one. Went with 3 for two reasons; I wasn't crazy about the ending and I also thought some parts of the book were longer and more detailed than necessary (video game descriptions for one). But overall, I enjoyed it even though it bounced around from very funny to some very dark topics. It was a page turner for me.
All told, The Nix is not the most extravagantly awful critically-acclaimed novel I’ve ever read—that would probably be one of Cormac McCarthy’s or Don DeLillo’s howlers. It’s just not very good. The plot is a real mess, with contrived framing devices, jittery narrative focus, and little forward momentum. On a sentence level, Hill dutifully sprinkles unusual metaphors throughout his text in order to demonstrate that he is a serious literary stylist. Premi e riconoscimentiMenzioniElenchi di rilievo
