Wonderful characters that I fell in love with. I can see how the writing style might not be everyone’s cup of tea but after a couple of chapters I felt like it flowed very smoothly. I have quickly become a big fan of Zusak and look forward to reading another one of his books. ( ) Jee-sus Christ Zusak! Why you tryna make me cry? Especially in the break room at work, when you killed off Carey. That wasn’t really fair to Clay! Luckily I held off, didn’t cry til I got home while finishing the book. It was an odd writing style, that I think took a bit away from the beginning of the book. Until I got used to it and everything started to come together. Man…damn. Freaking emotional, very non-linear story telling, a chapter in the present, a chapter in the past, but the past was all over the place, but damn was it good. Really needed to catch my breath after it was all over. Wow. I got about 25% through this book and really wasn't digging it, so I came to check reviews to see if it improves. I saw so so many comments on DNF reviews saying "keep going, the ending is worth it," so I did. I kept going so you don't have to. Honestly, if the style of the book isn't resonating with you then I don't think the plot is worth keeping with it. There's nothing (in my opinion) particularly new or revelatory to this novel that you don't find in many, many coming of age stories. And, obviously, the choppy back and forth storytelling didn't resonate with me.
Delayed gratification, in fact, is quite typical of Bridge of Clay, which on occasion falls into place in spectacular style and effect, bringing Zusak’s masterly skill for characterisation to the fore. Sometimes tedious, at other times masterful, this isn’t a novel destined for the success that met The Book Thief, though, if you have the patience, it’s worth sticking around for. But if The Book Thief was a novel that allowed Death to steal the show, its slightly chaotic, overlong, though brilliantly illuminated follow-up is affirmatively full of life. There’s much to love about this capacious novel, but there’s also so much. In addition to its obvious symbolic weight, the story feels freighted with those two decades of rewriting and revising. Contenido en
"Los cinco hermanos Dunbar viven en un hogar sin adultos, cuidando los unos de los otros, luchando por sobrevivir en un mundo que los ha abandonado, hasta que su padre, el hombre que los dejó sin mirar atrás, vuelve a casa. ¿Por qué ha regresado? Matthew, cínico y poético, es quien lleva las riendas de la familia; Rory, siempre falta a clase; Henry, una máquina de hacer dinero, y el pequeño Tomy, coleccionista de mascotas que ha colonizado la casa con animales disfuncionales, como la mula Aquiles y Rosy, el border collie. Y luego está el silencioso Clay, perseguido por un suceso del que no se puede hablar. Pero la historia se remonta tiempo atrás: a ese abuelo cuya pasión por los antiguos griegos aún llena de color sus vidas, y a los padres, que se conocieron gracias a un piano extraviado. Clay tratará de revelar su trágico secreto y de construir un puente para salvar a su familia y salvarse también a sí mismo." -- del editor.

At the center of the Dunbar family is Clay, a boy who will build a bridge - for his family, for his past, for greatness, for his sins, for a miracle. The question is, how far is Clay willing to go? And how much can he overcome?" -- from Goodreads.com. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
