Summary: Compelling, but tiring ...
Review: Though it was a compelling read, Paul Auster's novel is slightly hard to swallow. Auster writes like a modern day Dickens and he weaves characters and settings with grace and style. It's hard to describe the plot because so much happens within its 300 pages. But, it takes too many plot turns and relies on too many coincidences for readers to accept. Like Auster's "Mr. Vertigo" there were scenes that should have been the finale, but it trudges through and takes the reader on an exhuasting journey.

Summary: imagination at its finest
Review: Moon palace is a magical book, capable of whisking anyone off their feet and transporting them to a land of imagination and coincidence. I have read this book several times and the wonder of the story still remains embedded in my mind. I have passed the book on to my friends who all share my sentiments.

Summary: Auster is a Brilliant and Captivating Author
Review: Moon Palace is a dynamic and touching story and Paul Auster is one of the best writers I have had the pleasure of reading. It is an amazing maze of plots and mysteries a book to truly enjoy, I couldn't put it down.

Summary: I had to have my eyes surgically removed from the pages!!
Review: I read it in traffic jams, on the treadmill, in the bath, on the loo at work. Such was my fascination for it's content! M S Fogg was a character that anyone could identify with and as a consequence my desire to discover his "ending" did not diminish in any way. I challenge anyone not to enjoy!! Auster's highly perceptive observational skills in "Moon Palace" reminded me vaquely of Camus' "The Outsider".

Summary: Moon Palace spins the reader beyond expected bounds.
Review: Much has been made of the incredible coincidences that drive Moon Palace. However, they do not have to make sense. After all, it's fiction. The author can do as he pleases, and Auster does just that.All the familiar Auster themes are here in Moon Palace. The protagonist is often derailed into repetitive, dead-end subsistence, and could stay there indefinitely. Something usually comes along to push or guide him to a new route and destination, but life's new iteration too will ultimately be subverted. It's a constant effort in this book and others by Auster for the protagonist to remain true to his better (often higher, artistic) self. Yes Moon Palace, like other Auster novels, is auto-biographical. But striving for creativity and one's better self agaist the winds of chance and change is the critical mission in the lives of us all.

Summary: a new yorker's final equanemity
Review: I read this amazing book almost four years ago and I still often think about it. I think it flirts with brilliance, rarely have I read book with so many golden words. I often send paragraphes to friends and relatives if I think they need some wisdom.

Summary: Imagination goes on
Review: Excellent like the other works of Auster. Unprecedentable way of expressing the impossiblilites. As if they were as likely as anything in our lives. Breathtaking imagination!

Summary: Tries hard, sometimes succeeds
Review: I think this book had moments of brilliance, but it really couldn't keep it together for me. It is sometimes haunting and exciting, but other times dull.
Rating:
Summary: Fascinating, reaching and moving.
Review: A truely fantastic book. I first found it at a book stall and was interested from the first page. The book just got better and better. Marcus Stanley Fogg is a character who is so easy to relate to, and Auster brings out his emotions very well. The travel from povery to love creates a materpiece of literature. Since reading it twice I have recomended the book to others. They feel the same...that Auster is a true master of literature.
