Lemonade Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Has anyone read this? I heard it was the inspiration behind the TV show Lost and I've heard it's really good, but weird. I might pick up a copy and add it to the queue of books I plan to read... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balvack Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Yep, it's a weird one alright. It made me look at cyclists in a different light though o_O I can't comment on the influence on Lost, other than in both of them you wonder what on Earth is going on.

Dayeth Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I bought it a while ago and read a chapter or so then just lost the will to read the rest of it. I gave it to my mum to read and she thought it was a load of shite too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 It seems to be one of those you Love it or you hate it kind of deals, as all the reviews on Amazon are gushing.... I've ordered but I wont get it for a couple of weeks, I'll pass on my own thoughts when (or if) I get through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 1 year on. I got as far as page 82 before deciding it was shite, I might have another crack at it though, it must get good sometime, what with all the good reviews, or maybe it's like the Emperors new clothes and everyone justpretends to get it to sound clever.
