The Luminaries
darren says:
Absolutely loved this book. Granted I was on holiday and was able to read for long stretches at a time. I lived this book. I know the area and I could hear the water running over the stones on the shore. I could imagine the mist and the continuous rain. The plot was so clever and I may have hurried the read just to see how it ended. This is one book I'll read again just to enjoy the craft of writing. Well done, Eleanor Catton .... You deserved the Prize

I thought i...t could have been shorter but there are many twists and turns. I don't understand the horoscopes or the mathematical structure but after reading a previous comment accept that the weight of gold could be involved. I think the real conclusion preceded the end of the book by 200+ pages but relished the tying up of the bits and pieces. But I will have to reread the last 200+ pages to be sure. (ibooks pages) Engaging, a history and a country that I didn't realize participated in a gold rush,interesting characters.MoreLess
