| Re: King Rat
I just finished "King Rat" the other night and found it to be quite good. As with "The Scar," I couldn't really find myself liking any of the characters, although some of them struck me as very cool.
I guess the only thing I really had trouble with was deciding whether or not King Rat, Anansi, and Loplop were human or not. Are they just humans with characteristics of the animals they represent, or are they demi-gods of a sort?
I found the drum 'n' bass segments to be a bit overwhelming at times, but then again it lent a sense of realism. If he'd just brushed over the scene it would have felt much more contrived.
To sum it up, I'll definitely be recommending this book to other readers. |
