If you can't handle ultra violence, don't read it. ( ) Okay - it's been compared to American Psycho because, I suppose, the main character is a psychopath. However, in American Psycho, the main character is written as a functional person, living a functional life; this is not the case in Crumb... he's a raving lunatic who pisses in his own pants on the bus. And there really isn't a story here. There's no plot, no storyline, no conclusion: we see 7 days in a lunatics head - complete with raving hallucinations and several gory and detailed murders. So. As a babbling examination of what it might be like in a crazy person's head, it's mildly interesting. But as a novel in which you'd expect there to be some storyline or a plot with some sort of resolution, it's a complete flop. It is very graphic and creepy. I wish there had been some storyline to it that would have made all this smooth, detailed and creative writing worth the time it takes to read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Intelligent, wry, and seriously twisted, Peter Crumb is a man who suffers two personalities, only one of which is capable of remorse. His life has been derailed by a single, devastating act of violence, and now, in what he intends to be his last week on earth, he is determined to leave his mark upon humanity--randomly, unjustly, with infinite attention to detail. Allowing the morning's newspaper headlines to loosely dictate his actions, Crumb sets out on a weeklong descent into hell, determined to drag as many as possible into the darkness along with him. Gritty, dazzling, and profoundly disturbing, Jonny Glynn's The Seven Days of Peter Crumb is an extraordinary debut that portrays the deterioration of a severely splintered soul.
