1999 | Action, Sci-Fi
A strange film and a must for gamers. Set in the future where virtual reality games rule, this follows the latest game to be unveiled which leaves it hard to tell the difference between the game and reality. A great idea, but would benefit from repeat viewings to fully grasp what is going on!

"This is work of art. Six lengthy songs, stretching a like a cat in the sun. This is the second of their strange six song records that took a definite left turn from their progressive pop beginnings. While its predecessor Spirit of Eden is also fantastic, I like the more transparent production of the successor."

I liked some aspects of this; the detective by night; the relationship with the lawyer. But there were some things I didn't like; her husband and his behaviour; the mundane bits when she was just thinking strange thoughts.

>I just wasn't pulled into the story. I didn't devour it like I do some books.

I was liking this for the first 30% or so but then it took that long for something romance-y or paranormally to happen that I began to get a little...bored...so I gave it up as DNF at the 43% mark when the story just went a little too strange for my liking.

Curzio Malaparte | 2013 | Fiction & Poetry, History & Politics

Book Favorite

"This novel, a linked series of strange and acid and darkly comic vignettes on life in Naples at the end of World War II, gets at the material reality of a liberator (the American military) as occupier and at the contradictory and surreal world of Naples. In sum, no one is innocent, not even Malaparte."
