Criticism Appertaining To Books The Book of Human Skin

This was a difficult read. The narrator starts, "This is going to be a little uncomfortable." I beg to differ. It was a lot uncomfortable. It was a bit confusing at the beginning. There were 5 character points of view that kept switching rather quickly. There were two locations - Peru & Venice. Like the narrators, the location switched back and forth. It was half way, or better, before the one character's connection to the story became clear. I kept wondering when Sol Loretta's story line

Minguillo Fasan, the evil son of a Venetian nobleman, sets out to destroy his family, especially his sister Marcella, and other perceived enemies, in this accomplished novel, set in the 18th century and narrated by several different characters, each telling the same story from their own perspectives. The naarators include Gianni, one of the Venetian servants, who is a witty and wonderful character, and Santo, an inspirational young doctor. This book is a brilliant achievement by a gifted writer,

Oh my goodness, I have been swept away by this glorious book. It really is a dark gem: a captivating story, rich with historical details, and packed full of full of characters, incidents, ideas and images.The story is brought to life by an extraordinary cast of characters so vividly painted. There is a cruel villain, a resourceful heroine, a penniless lover, and a mad woman. There are servants who are loyal but powerless; and there are friends who cannot help as much as they might like but who

I love books that are told from a number of different perspectives, particularly where the voices are so distinct, as they are here. Some are more compelling than others, and I looked forward to hearing from the evil characters most. The demented nun (no other way to describe her) Sor Loretta was my favourite - totally over the top and totally compelling because of it. There is quite a lot of historical detail in this book, and some extensive notes at the end to explain it all. I didn't know

Excellent. I really got into her books when I happened to pickup The Remedy. If youve ever wanted to travel in time read a Michelle Lovric book. You can see the grand canal and smell the streets of Venice and the corruption on the backstreets of London. True escapism. I emerged from the Remedy in a daze and thought "oh yeah im a wife and mother living in england!" I quickly longed to wander through venice again and picked up this book from my library. I loved it from the first page its the kind

I have to admit, that at first I was bit like, eh about this book. The back of it sounded interesting, but not all that at all. At first it was somewhat slow moving and rather disengaging in many senses. It just seemed to be dragging on and there seemed to be far too many characters to pay attention to. I think the beginning of the book was just a little too heavy with too much going on and that of course almost disengaged me from it. But none the less I persevered with the book adn continued to

3.5/5This is one of those books that I feel could have benefited had I been reading it by itself. Unfortunately for this particular work, I've had plenty of simultaneous reading experiences where each work held their own just fine in conjunction with their competition, so my penchant for multiple books is really not to blame.Intriguing title, isn't it? Sensational, salacious, and easily backed up by the promise of the summary and the entirety of the book. The only problem, really, was the matter
