Appraise Based On Books My Brother and His Brother

An interesting book, though strangely written. The tone was very simple, and I don't know if that was by choice, as a result of translation, or just due to the writers experience. In any case, I found it a little distracting, at times.

Good book - unique voice. Probably more YA than adult fiction. Still - a nice mystery unfolds as you read this novella. It was a great read for a quiet afternoon at home.

I've read this novel in one sitting (which doesn't happen quite often). It was a lovely melancholic story written in simple but quite effective language. One of those quiet, unpretentious books you stumble upon every now and then and after you're done you realize that you just found a true gem. Absolutely recommending to everyone in love in fine literature.

I picked of this translation of the Swedish novel at Dog Eared Books in The Castro of San Francisco while I was exploring the city with my friend Jana. I had never heard of the book but I was drawn to it. I dont know why Im attracted to book covers with photos of actual people. Its rare to find these types of covers. Normally, publishers choose more stylized covers with blurred faces, people who have turned away from the camera, identifying features cut off. This book has a young man on the

I was really hoping I would love this book. The concept behind it really sounded like something I would enjoy, and the added angles of the gay relationship and it taking place in Sweden also made me want to read it. It's not a bad book, but there were a few things that kept me from really getting into it and from rating it higher. The book was originally written in Swedish; the English version, translated by the author, does not read as smoothly as I'd like. The dialogue among the characters,

The first few pages were good enough to make you want to read the whole book in one sitting. It was interestingly written that would draw curiosity. It was haunting. At times, I thought I would be seeing the ghost of his brother coming back for a visit. Personally, it was that chilly. And I like the way the author chose to end the book, without attempting to reveal the confrontation of the gay issue with the parents. Somehow, it felt like the mother knew. This is a good book. Definitely

Oh. My. God. That was worse than my students' writings and trust me, they're pretty bad. Please do not translate if you don't know the target language. I kept thinking "brilliant that you learnt what Past Perfect looks like, now it's time to work on when to actually use it as it doesn't fit everywhere, but first let's do irregular verbs." It was absolutely ridiculous. Who published it?? I mean I really liked the idea but the execution was disastrous and it ruined everything. Landed a permanent
