5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent fiction at its best, April 13, 1998

This review is from: Doctor Criminale (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was loaned to me two years ago, and the memory of it has lived with me since.I found the book almost impossible to put down as I travelled the world with Francis Jay in his search for Baslo Criminale, meeting an array of well developed and unforgettable characters. Mr. Bradbury succeeded in playing adroitly with my emotions, making me laugh and (almost) cry. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who likes intelligent humour and mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Piece of Literary Fiction, April 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Doctor Criminale (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book in 1994, without the knowledge of who this author was, or his style of writing. After I opened the book, I found I could not put it down. This novel had a profound impact on me and my perception of the world. This book had changed the way I looked at the world and at myself. Bradbury, through Francis Kay, spoke to me in a way that Heller, Salinger and Vonnegut couldn't, spoke to who I was and challenged me to see who I could be, just as his character did. Unfortunately I only borrowed the book, and when I went to buy it, I was told it was out of print. It's a shame that literature of this calibur isn't available to everyone anymore.
