Review: Zero K

Zero K Zero K by Don DeLillo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With all that is happening around us, it's no surprise that DeLillo has one generation cryogenically freezing itself for future thawing while the other gets left behind in a seemingly increasingly violent world. Weaving a new possible re-Creation myth, DeLillo's latest is a ponderous examination of father-son bonds, or rather the lack of them, which ultimately ends up feeling like an unresolved puzzle. One to go back to in a few years, I think.

Review: Norse Mythology

Norse Mythology Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With a voice as calm and sonorous as ever, Gaiman leads us through the tangle of Norse gods and demigods to Ragnarok and beyond. Not the longest of reads but a very enjoyable one.
