This is Jannette's confession book. The author tells us all about his difficult childhood in a large family with special, cruel principles of education. For many years, the writer kept secrets to herself, but every year they weighed on her more and more. Having put everything on the page, Walls' life, in her own words, became much easier.

We miss Hemingway. Yes, few can compare with him, but Kerouac is worth paying attention to. Because the themes and motives are very similar: male friendship, alcohol (where would we be without it), the search for the universal meaning of life and conversations, conversations, conversations...

The Booker Prize, after all. Meet the author from New Zealand. All lovers of mysticism and astrology will find this novel very, very entertaining. Zodiac signs, planetary characters (each corresponds to its own planet), a mysterious story and... at the forefront is the hero-Earth, or rather his murder, around which everything revolves.

Abandoned by his father, without a single soul mate in the whole world, he wanders around foster homes and other people's families - from New York to Las Vegas - and his only consolation, which, however, almost leads to his death, is the money he stole from museum masterpiece of the Dutch old master. This is an amazing book.

... This is not only the love story of the famous writer Jerome Salinger for Una O’Neill, or Una for Charlie Chaplin, but more - the love of Beigbeder himself for his wife Lara Micheli (married since 2014). He speaks through his characters and we see that there is no trace left of the cynic who wrote “99 Francs” or “Ideal”. Love changes. Love opened Begbeder's heart. Only in the last pages of the novel do you realize that this book was actually born thanks to the fact that Frederick finally met Love. Because books written with a happy heart are different. Warmer. Real ones. To be honest, when I started reading, I expected, as always, a sea of ​​cynicism and negativity. But instead - moments of awe and tenderness.

WORST BOOKS 2015

... “And this, bitch, hurts so much that you have to drink for weeks to drown it out.” Here you go summary Minaev's books. Consumer society. Fashion trends. And the mental anguish of the main character, who has lost the meaning of life. It makes no sense. No one has. There is only Me. The illusion of me. Selfie. The self-portrait that we paint in the Internet space, which is as illusory as everything that happens. The absurdity of office brainstorming, new fashion trends, drinking parties, etc.

... The Bookshop is a book that I cannot rank as either the best or the worst books of this year. Rather, this is a piece for relaxing, traveling on the train, or just killing time. If it were not for the fact that a bookstore appears in the novel, then this book would be on my list of the worst...The novel is about nothing ... No humor, no worries. No, sometimes the author still jokes. But somehow... The constant comparison of various situations with events from movies was a little annoying. Apparently, Craig loves movies more than books. And he constantly boasts of his cinematic knowledge from the words of the main character. If he compared the situations with the situations of the heroes of literary works, it would be much better. This would be more justified, given the theme of the work.
