Poor ending? Get out of here!
A truly exceptional book and very well written, though I suspect women might enjoy it more than men. I don't usually care much anymore for books described as "dark" and "mysterious", and I have long since done all my essential reading of Edgar Allan Poe. However, in this case, the description on the back cover is misleading: The Behaviour of Moths it is...

What a poor ending!
After writing 9/10 of an exellent book, something goes terribly wrong! If you ever read 'Den forsvundne fuldmægtig' by Hans Scherfig, you would know that this ending is just a poor copy of a masterpiece. What went wrong? Did she get bored by her writing and just wanted it done with?

This review is from: Behaviour of Moths (Paperback)
A truly exceptional book and very well written, though I suspect women might enjoy it more than men.I don't usually care much anymore for books described as "dark" and "mysterious", and I have long since done all my essential reading of Edgar Allan Poe. However, in this case, the description on the back cover is misleading: The Behaviour of Moths it is primarily a beautifully crafted story, set in just a few days, and with a (fair) bit of suspense thrown in as an added bonus. And even if you don't much care for moths (you might find you actually do after reading this book) you will enjoy the read! As for the ending: well, I found the unexpected twist very satisfying. Far from being poor or unfinished, I enjoyed the change of focus ... and location. No more said - read it for yourself!

This review is from: The Behaviour of Moths (Hardcover)
Reading Adams' Behaviour of Moths for a second time, I am more impressed than ever. Few writers can have so adroitly given a gentle introduction to a biological area with a, much more important, gripping human story.INVICTUS |
