Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. I couldn't get past page 250. Turgid, glacial prose. Since it was about an Important Topic (World War 2, the Holocaust), it used this as a justification to dump a garbage barge-size heap of literary pretentiousness on the unwary reader. It looks thick and heady, but avoid at all costs. ( )
Reviewing someone's first novel, it is customary to be polite about it, to find things to praise in it. So let me say straight away that James Thackara's The Book Of Kings is printed on very nice paper, and the typeface is clear and readable. And, given that it's 773 pages long, the author has shown a commendable degree of application and spent a great deal of time on the project.
While Europe drifts toward Nazism, four students share an apartment in Paris. Thackara brilliantly forges the stories of these four men whose lives mirror the larger picture, while the listener follows Hitler's rise from a dozen different perspectives.
