At such times I just put the book aside and let my mind run through whatever it is.<br /><br />I saw the movie on TV not long after I had read the novel - one of those weird coincidences. All I can remember is that it wasn't a disaster. But that's all I remember about it so it was probably not very good either.

I was reading two books at the same time and took a pause in reading EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, and then we were travelling, the book with us, and I got only glimpses in between the trips. You know how it sometimes goes. I'll try this again, and in English. <br /><br />Have you seen the movie?Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9919027.post-41356309311086934592011-07-20T20:40:23.834+03:002011-07-20T20:40:23.834+03:00I read EYE OF THE BEHOLDER in English in the early...I read EYE OF THE BEHOLDER in English in the early 2000s and absolutley loved it. I can't recall I found the writing monotonous, though. Browsing through it now I can however see it's written in a sparse matter-of-fact style. This happened. Then that happened. But that just fits the narrator only so well. And what a totally original spin on the -- generally speaking -- tiresome serial killer genre it is! How would you say it is dated?Anders Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164550847416446757noreply@blogger.com
