4.0 out of 5 stars Heart-warming, surprizinigly honest and open-minded, September 26, 2001

Cara (South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nik, Now I Know (Hardcover)

Chambers has created realistic characters with their own quirks and memories. I suppose the fact that nobody in this book is poorly portrayed is its best feature - Nik is a guy with desires, memories and opinions and His girlfriend is sharp-witted and fun.
Their strange ideas, her feminism, Nik's questions about Christianity and the Bible... I read this book six months ago, and I recently read "Postcards from No Man's Land". Chambers has a way to make you live with characters, even the parts of them that others would consider weird - as each of us has to live with him or herself from day to day.
The reader comes away with a sense of enrichment and newly opened eyes. A must-read.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book kept my interest; it was very unique., June 10, 1999

This review is from: Nik, Now I Know (Hardcover)

I read this book when I was a senior in highschool,which was over three years ago. I needed to find a book for my class, so I chose this one because my name is Niki and I always sign my name NIK. I was really impressed with this book. It was definetly unique and it kept my interest. There are very few books that I really love and this is one of them. I highly reccomend it. It's definetly an original.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good book, June 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nik, Now I Know (Hardcover)

I picked this book up because an old friend of mind is named Nik. I thought that a would just chuckle at the coincedence and put is down again, but as soon as I started reading it I couldn't stop. There are precious few books that draw me in as quickly as this one. I could see myself and people I have known in the characters The plot was interresting and the premis intreaging. It was the best piece of non-liniear story telling that I have seen in a long time. I highly recomend it to anyone.
