Recensioni
I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive di Steve Earle
I think I enjoyed this so much because it was so unexpected. The cover drew me in, the author (being Steve Earle) compelled me to buy it and the story blew me away...it wasn’t at all what I was expecting, and it was a welcomed surprise. I really enjoyed the story and the characters although is does discuss drug use very accurately so it may be triggering for some.
Although the ghostly apparition of Hank Williams didn't always work for me, I liked the magic realism of Graciela's gift. It took me awhile to get through the book but I'm glad I did. The characters had a strong authenticity to them and the tale of a down and out Doc saw me rate this 4 stars.
Väldigt ojämn historia om, i grund och botten, troende. Det finns något där som jag gillar men helheten blir spretig och ganska så ointressant.
I enjoyed the heck out of this book. I had no idea what to expect going in. I'm a fan of Earle's music, so I figured the writing would be at least okay.
Instead, I got a wonderful story that straddles the line between bleak and hopeful. And the audiobook version has a great bonus, but also serves as the only major downfall--Steve Earle reads his own book, which, for about 90% of the story, is great, with his accent and pronunciations serving only to pull the reader deeper into the world.
Where it falls down is when the story moves to the better spoken folk toward the end. Earle's writing is still great, and the words they speak are perfect, but Earle seems to stumble at times. I'm not saying he can't speak clearly, but the words simply don't seem to fit his mouth as well, and the story doesn't go with the same flow.
However, for the most part, this is only a couple of chapters, and the rest of the book is heartbreaking and funny and stupid and poignant.
