Bir Octavia Butler vuruşunda bulundum. Ben sadece yeniden okudum. Bu rahatsız edici, iyi bir kitap. Ana karakter, 1976 Los Angeles'tan 1812 Chesapeake'e kadar zaman içinde ilerledikçe, şimdi ve geçmiş bulanıklaşıyor. Butler kölelik, ırkçılık, farklılık ve sevgi hakkında bir hikaye anlatır. Aşağı koyamadım.

I had this book on my radar for a while and when I started it I thought it was really good. I was a bit surprised. As it developed, I had a little less admiration and the story developed. I am having a hard time expressing exactly why it ultimately disappointed. The story became somewhat more implausible and some of the events were a little too pat. It was very good first half at least.

My first Robbins... really a great book.

Interesting, psychcological exploration of one man's obsessive collecting (beginning with butterflies, ending with Miranda). The division into sections; the first half narrated by Frederick, the second diary-entries from Miranda shows both sides of the case. The most interesting aspect was perhaps Miranda's snobbishness; although the captor's views were pathetic, Miranda's self-importance and often hideous views move the two closer together by the novel's end.

From the Publisher When Henry Roth published Call It Sleep, his first novel, in 1934, it was greeted with critical acclaim. But in that dark Depression year, books were hard to sell, and the novel quickly dropped out of sight, as did its twenty-eight-year-old author. Only with its paperback publication in 1964 did the novel receive the recognition it deserves. Call It Sleep was the first paperback ever to be reviewed on the front page of The New York Times Book Review, and it proceeded to sell millions of copies both in the United States and around the world.
