No Great Mischief : A Novel (Vintage International (Paperback))

Rating:
Summary: Don't waste your money!...
Review: No Great Mischief is an understatement. Absolutely nothing of importance happens in this dark overview of a family clan's life stories. I found the reading to be pure drudgery and tossed the book in the trash about half-way through. This book should be titled "No Great Novel." UGH!...

Summary: an interesting and unusally constructed novel
Review: Not tediously long, like so many these days; well written with characters you can imagine.

Scenes easy to picture, such as walking on ice, fruit picking, dangers of mining, and an inside look at the life of an alcoholic.

I liked the moon being the "poor man's lamp" and also the suggestion that we dream in our mother tongue. Wonder what the multi-linguists do?

Summary: Intriguing Relationships That Bond For Eternity
Review: This book captures you from the first page and through the eyes and feelings of the characters you become part of the family that this story describes. The sequence of events, the details and the family bonds allow you to live the storey and enjoy the joyride of emotions of sadness, happiness, failure and success.
Above all, it demonstrates how nothing in life is achieved without sacrifice and committment by yourself, family and friends. An excellent read, deep and intellectually stimulating.
