I think this books series of covers caused almost as much chat as the contents!celinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-13638314216051168612009-11-14T12:24:11.732-05:002009-11-14T12:24:11.732-05:00heidenkind: er wow is right. But it&#39;s so good that it&#39;s worth getting past. I just thought I should warn people who hadn&#39;t read the book.<br /><br />Celine: Yes, the language really is magnificent isn&#39;t it? <br /><br />As for the cover, the one I have here is the only one I actually really like. To each his own I guess!<br /><br />An Anonymous Child: This book is definitely VERY uncomfortable at points. But it&#39;s never gratuitous; everything follows the logic of the story, if you know what I mean. I love it!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05155882653615842141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-40583362375765135542009-11-14T11:39:38.758-05:002009-11-14T11:39:38.758-05:00I&#39;m going to assume that this is one of those books that seems like it&#39;ll be terrible (gang rape...?) but ends up good. I think it&#39;ll make it easier to sleep at night...<br /><br />That said, I&#39;ll take your word for it and will seek this out at some point. Probably on a bright sunny day with lots of comforting objects around.An Anonymous Childhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-10154902609642732492009-11-13T18:48:17.649-05:002009-11-13T18:48:17.649-05:00PS, being the graphic-design anal freak that I am, I must confess that I <i>hate</i> that damned cover you have on your review. This one is my favourite (it is, I believe, the one that my beloved Allen and Unwin chose) http://www.celinekiernan.com/blog/?p=544 <br /><br />Next to that one, I actually love the one that Margo L doesn&#39;t like http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tender-Morsels-Margo-Lanagan/dp/0385613237Celinehttp://www.celinekiernan.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-46168902999253543682009-11-13T18:41:19.104-05:002009-11-13T18:41:19.104-05:00Though I found TM gruelling with a capital G, I loved it. Most especially - in fact almost entirely - for it&#39;s <i>magnificent</i> use of language. It&#39;s a sensory feast.Celinehttp://www.celinekiernan.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-9235151330051879332009-11-13T18:37:15.702-05:002009-11-13T18:37:15.702-05:00It begins AND ENDS with gang rape?
