Someone Comes to Town Someone Leaves Town Cory Doctorow Books

I don't know if it's a deliberate artistic choice or an electronic typesetting problem, but there were so many missing spaces between words and after sentences that the book was too painful to read. I bailed on the opening junk after a handful of pages because I hoped that the story would be OK, but when the story itself was also a formatting mess, I had to bail after just a couple of pages.

Ifyou findthis paragraph acceptable, then youwon't mind theway this bookis formatted.But ifyou find thistoo annoying to toleratefor long,then give this booka hardpass.

Someone Comes to Town Someone Leaves Town Cory Doctorow Books Reviews

Six years after reading and still this book is with me, bubbling to the surface when I'm babbling on long car rides and inspiring me to try and explain why I'll never forget "My Mother Was A Mountain, My Father Was A Washing Machine" and the character borne of these wonderfully animate creatures. I'm overjoyed that a book like this can exist in our world, and even be linked to the mainstream world by the author's omnivoracity. I love Cory Doctorow's courage and his imagination, and this particular book stands the test of post-technological time, what a glorious gift for us all.
I'm sure Cory Doctorow really is a "leading voice" of "next-generation SF" as the book jacket brazenly announces, but what does that really mean?

Kudos to Doctorow for fearlessly creating this fuzzy, hyperreal universe that bends and stretches all conventional narrative technique. Doctorow must see himself as some sort of latter-day literary infidel (after all, the protagonist's parents are a washing machine and a mountain) on a torch-blazing mission to the stars.

But with all the experimenting going on here, all the lip-smacking, throw-it-to-the-wind risk-taking in the writing, I found neither the characters nor the storyline compelling enough (or developed enough) to make this book interesting or enjoyable in the least.

This book is mainly comprised of lots and lots of technobabble, with very little substance. Is that what "next generation SF" really is? Isn't that kind of pretentious?

Plus, there's a pretty tangible mean streak in the text that is given neither thematic justification nor a much-needed irony; there are flippant bouts of violent atrocities on almost every page, and I began to tire quickly of all this bitter malice and revenge.
Other than "fantasy" or "horror" it would be tough to classify this book. Sometimes I feel like the character development is straying wildly into social issues that Doctorow pretty much has to pound on every time he sits down at the computer, but all the way 'round it works.

If you allready have a taste for Mr. Doctorows works, this is not one to miss.
Fantastic story - Doctorow is brilliant!
Parts of this book are so well written that I had to force myself to put the book down and do something else.
The story moves around and each segment sucks you in further.
My only mild criticism is that the symbolism around one the characters and her relationships is so obvious I was literally embarassed at times while reading the book.
The book iteslf is a great size to hold and read.
Very strange and unusual book, not like anything else I have read by the author.
It starts out real good, a man is renovating his new home and the author is adding a boatload of details on how it is done. That's in itself is joyful as I am a sucker for renovation. Then he states something that you probably just think is a funny expression of his.
A chapter later he says the same thing and adds another very curious observation. I just read along a bit nonplussed. Then another and I was totally hooked and.. Spooked in a fascinating way. It's all fabulous reading from that point.
This was my first book by the author, I had read a novella before so I liked the way with words he had.
After this... What a story, and what a strange man he must be. -)
