What's a Duckworth,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Juggling the Stars (Paperback)
I came to Tim Park's work after first reading his non fiction books about living in Italy (and I mean really living in Italy). I have now read three of his fiction works. They too are terrific. If you have read the non fiction, let me assure you that the same scathing irreverance is found in the fiction. But, because it is fiction, his wit, cynicism and insights are magnified. If you like Martin Amis, I feel confident that you will also like Tim Parks. Be sure to read Juggling the Stars before Mimi's Ghost.

Great blend of gruesome murders and macabre humor,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Juggling the Stars (Paperback)
Tim Parks has it down for those looking for a touch of humor in the scrutinized look into a killer. Far superior to the latest Thomas Harris try, Hannibal, although that may not be a good comparison. Give this author a try if you like alternating between feelings of nausea and laughter. The writing is solid, the psychology compelling, and the story moves along quickly. Great effort.

can't get much better,
By tonyr@ct1.nai.net (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Juggling the Stars (Hardcover)
This remains one of the alltime scariest books I've ever read, perhaps because there is nothing supernatural or otherwoldly to get in the way. A totally believable and wonderfully orchestrated psychological thriller, grounded in class and sexual consciousness, dark with menace; more than once I put it down to catch my breath. Was it ever made into a movie, as the hardcover jacket suggested?
