4.0 out of 5 stars Not an angelic book, quite the opposite., June 11, 2002

This review is from: LA Nausee (French Edition) (Paperback)

Unfortunately Veronica Slater is seriously wrong about La Nausee. This book is not a gift from Heaven, nor could it be. It is a gift from Sartre, the existential atheist. If it were a gift from Heaven then Sartre would be a hypocrate, seeming as that he doesn't believe in God. This book is deep, but not for a Philosopher, nor for a true philosophy lover. It introduces the reader to the mind of Sartre, to the truly existential way of mind. It lets the reader know that not everything is as concrete as one has come to accept. And, it is true, the realization that things have no true meaning, that definitions are not of an object's essence, can be quite nauseating. So don't read this book after eating a full course meal...

4.0 out of 5 stars Obsessed Veronica, June 12, 2005

It is really interesting that your review of this book as well as the name of the town that you are supposedly from both mimic the scene in the series Buffy. you start by claiming that you are from Sunnydale Ca, when there is no such place, second your perfect Scenario would be reading this book beside a cozy fire, which is not a rediculous notion, however it is identical to the scenario played out by the Character of Angel in Buffy, who does happen to be in the storybook town of Sunnydale. It is my opinion that you read the book because you saw it in the third season of Buffy, episode called Lovers Walk The book might be good or it might not, however no one should base their opinion of it upon an internal feeling of bliss because they have read it while mimicking a scene from a telivision series. if this is being read by a reviewer, please note that the review by Veronica Slater is not her own but rather has been influenced by a ficticious character. Angelic!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite the Angelic Book, April 21, 2002

By 

Veronica Slater (Sunnydale CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: LA Nausee (French Edition) (Paperback)

This book, La Nausee, was certainly a gift from heaven. As I read it in front of the fire, over the shoulder of a gorgeous male, with a pathetic man at the window, I was struck by the poetry of the whole thing. La Nausee speaks about scruples, existentialism, and curmudgeons. Life is not all one big Remington Party, it points out. Au contraire, we must pay attention to love (the heart), honour (the crown), and friendship (the clasped hands). One can lose their soul in this book, so be careful not to get too involved. Not only is it extremely deep, it is also a very attractive book. Angelic!
