| This was the first book that I got from the local library, and in one way I'm glad that I did not pay for it. It's written by a polish writer and I would take it that the book was translated into English. May be the flow of the book is lost in translation at times, but not sure on that front.
The book is about a guy called Nails , a tracksuited slacker who spends most of his time searching for his next line of speed and dreaming of some strange conspiracy theories about the national economy and the Russkies (Russians). Many other things happen that take some understanding but it seems to be all one big trip. It's written in a way that feels like the author was on speed as it's fast and disjointed, so you speed freaks will understand. I for one did not enjoy this book as much as I hoped, it sometimes just seemed hard to follow and to mixed up to make a good go at it, or was it the fact that I had the flu!!!! 4/10 |
