[ 4.0 stars ] "Banville's book is a deeply unpleasant read, not because it's badly written, but because it is narrated in the first-person by a deeply unpleasant character.The plot of the book seems drawn from the real-life story of Irish socialite killer Macolm McArthur, an allusion to whom may have influenced Banville in his choice of 'Montgomery' as the surname for his central character (McArt ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "Banville's writing is excellent. The story is told by a murderer about his own crime. It made me think of Crime and Punishment but the writing is different. There are moments where you chuckle at things in this book and I don't remember finding Raskolnikov amusing at all. This book is easy to read but may challenge the vocabulary a little. I like that. This is not a murder mystery so don^^ ..." Courtesy by Amazon
