Teddy: Coetzee takes a little getting used to…his books are never easy reads, but they pay off in the end. I’ll look forward to reading your review after you’ve read this one.

Thanks for the review. I’ve haven’t read a Coetzee’ book yet, but have a few on my TBR. I’m going to add this one as well.

Deb: I read The Memory Keeper’s Daughter as well – but this book is very, very different … Have you read Coetzee’s books before? They are tough sometimes, but he *does* flesh out his characters quite well. I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts if you read this one.

Last year I read The Memory Keeper’s Daughter and didn’t like it because the character’s weren’t that well fleshed out. I wonder if this book does a better job with a somewhat similar theme.

Sounds like a very thought-provoking read. I am adding this one to this list now.

He is not for everyone…if you didn’t like Slow Man, you probably won’t like this one either. I have to admit that Coetzee is not my favorite author, although I find him thought provoking.

I just read Slow Man, by very first Coetzee book. I have to admit that I thought it was awful and I’m hesitant to read any more of his stuff. This book sounds interesting, but I just don’t know if I can handle any more of him this year.
