Finished Out. It was good, entertaining. Silly loose end, who do you think was the pervert grabbing women at the abandoned factory? Or do you think it was just rumors and gossip?

Just picked up "Grotesque" by Natsuo Kirino. She wrote a really fucked up murder story called "Out" that they translated from Japanese and published over here about 2 years ago. She's considered one of Japan's premiere crime novelists and it's about frickin' time that they translated another one of her works. She delves into the darkness of individuals' hearts in a way that gives me goosebumps. Looking forward to reading this.
Didn't I recommend Out to you?
Great novel. I've got a stack of books that are keeping me from buying Grotesque, so I'll be interested in your opinion.
There are not enough worda to describe how much I hated Grotesque. Seriously, what an incredible let down, not only because the first 50 pages started off so interesting, but really because Kirino's first English translated novel was excellent. Out was such a great book, and this was awful on so many levels I don't even know where to start. All three of the main characters were such hateful, cold hearted creatures that you couldn't muster up any emotion for any of them beyond complete disdain - or worse, indifference. There was not one character in this book that I could care enough to be interested in what happened to her. And the main narrator does such a complete 180 in the last 5 pages of the book - I mean, something so bizarre and out of character from how she had been portrayed in the first 462 pages - that all I could think was: "WHAT. THE. FUCK." when I read it.
Unlike Out, which made one pause and consider the role of women in Japan, this book is a scathing indictment of that same society and the value of the women in it. It was hateful and boring and I cannot believe that the same author who wrote the intriguing Out wrote this plodding, mind numbing, depressing book.
Seriously, Joe, don't waste your time.

Do you blame Kirino herself, or could the translator have done a hatchet-job to the novel? I'm asking because I read Koji Suzuki's Ring trilogy years ago and, while the first novel seemed to suffer from the translator (great book that lagged in places), the other two novels were solid.

I don't know. It has the same cadence that "Out" had, so I don't really think that it comes down to something being lost in translation. Clearly, Kirino is none too fond of how the Japanese view their women - I got that impression with the first book, and you get clubbed on the head with that fact in this one. But in "Out" you cared about what happened to the characters, which is more than I can say for this one.
In "Grotesque" the main narrator loathes her sister, Yuriko, from early childhood because her sister was so beautiful that she considered her beauty monsterous. She is so bitter and cruel to Yuriko, and to her own mother as well, that you can't even feel a modicum of sympathy for her for forever being lost in her sister's stunning shadow. And her cruelty bleeds into her treatment of others, namely a girl named Kazue, who like Yuriko, also ends up as a murdered prostitute. Starting with her mother's suicide, and moving on to the murders of her sister and the girl she taunted growing up, the lead character is so completely indifferent to their deaths that if the she doesn't care about what happened to these people, why should we?
There was just a heartlessness in this book, and a cruelty of the characters that was a complete and utter turnoff for me. As one of the characters believes: "Sex is the only way a woman has to control the world." What a bitter, pathetic and cold way of looking at things. And if that is what Kirino truly believes, then I can think of nothing sadder than that.

No biggie, they just never actually had anything happen except from the Brazilian-Japanese man with the crush on M___ (uh, the main character).

Ok, so Dave Mama has recommended Vachss (yay!) and Moore (boo!) - so he's about 50/50 on his recs. I'm not sure if I should kiss 'im or consider his recs shite and never trust him again. But he recommended In Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami because of our mutual like of Out and I figured, let's see if he can improve his rating to a 2 outta 3...
I picked it up yesterday and read it last night (yay insomnia!) and totally loved it. It is very, very creepy. Kinda like Joe, but that's part of why I luvs him. Anyhoo, the ending was a little too abrupt for my tastes, but everything from the moment when Kenji, the narrator who guides tourists through the Japanese sex industry, suspects that "Frank" is a serial killer, to the moment when these suspicions are brutally and graphically confirmed - had me hooked. The descriptions of the murders are ... intense and a bit chilling and whether Kenji was gonna be next had me holding my breath. The last 50 pages were a complete head game.
Loved it. Dave Mama, you have redeemed yourself from your crappy ass Moore recommendation.
yay!

I also recommend, if you haven't read anything by him yet, Elmore Leonard. He does crime novels (and westerns, but I haven't read many of those) that read quickly because he's a master at pacing and dialogue. Some of his novels have been made into films, including: Get Shorty, Be Cool (which was clearly a case of him doing a novel for the money), Out Of Sight, and Rum Punch (filmed as Jackie Brown). If you're new to him, I recommend those novels (with the exception of Be Cool, even if I am in the flick), as well as City Primevil, Cuba Libre, Pagan Babies, Glitz, and Killshot. But you can't really go wrong with any of his novels.

I haven't read the book, but I'm assuming it wasn't meant to be figured out.
Japan is notorious for "Chikan." Also known as the subway pervert. The problem is so terrible that they have to give women their own car. Barely ANY gropers have been caught since their anonymity is so easy to hang on to in the subway car. Plus, no one really cares except for the one's who get groped.
Anyway, has anyone ever read The Changing Light at Sandover?

I read the Bachman Books collection years ago, but I can't recall if that was in there. I do recall thinking that there was one story in there about a man having a nervous breakdown that would've been perfect for Charles Grodin (who later had a weird controlled breakdown on his talk show on CNBC. . .)

I read a Kurt Vonnegut yesterday, first of his I read, Slaughter-House-Five.
Good. I liked it, it was entertaining and had an interesting perspective. It didn't have the dazzle of a Neil Gaiman or the explosive cleverness of a Douglas Adams, but it was well worth the read.

It isn't. It's an unpublished novel he did years and years ago that it seems he dusted off, updated/edited, and released.

I haven't bought it and, if I do, it will be in softcover when curiosity overwhelms. I've got too many I'm working through (Hard Case Crime's offerings...F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack novels [I just finished Gateways]...Koji Suzuki's Birthday...etc)

"New"? Methinks that King is starting to run of fumes, recycling novels an' all. Perhaps he should just fulfill my birthday wish and write the follow-up to Danse Macabre.

Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs?

Just finished reading the new Harry Potter book. It was pretty good, but Jesus Christ, at 759 pages, it desperately needed an editor. There were easily 150 pages that could have been cut out and in about 70-80 of those absolutely nothing happened.
Still, over all it was a good read, but if you haven't read any of the others before, you are screwed. There are too many references to past events in the other books for newbies to understand ...

Book 4 is hands down the best one of the series and 3 and 5 are lacking, but overall its an excellent series. Very entertaining and worth the time it takes to read them all...

Hope you enjoyed the book, Harley. I'm at about page 305... I agree that some of it is filler, and it is a good read, so far. I read the first six books,too.

It's good. Unfortunately, someone spoiled the ending for me, so it wasn't as suspenseful as it should've been for me.
Hope you like it, BG.

Damn, Harley, I am sorry the ending got spoiled for you!
Someone ruined Halfblood Prince for me in a chatroom two years ago.
I took my time about reading that book, failing to realize I wasn't just reading a book - I was part of a worldwide event!

I finished The Deathly Hallows yesterday. I'm still trying to figure out if I liked it or not. I don't want to spoil anything...but my all-time favorite died, and it was sort of out of the blue, and I really didn't see how it contributed. It's not that I object to the huge body count in the book, but about half of those seem to fit sort of odd.
