I loved this book! It is mesmerizing and enthralling. The characters are intricate and at the same time stark and simple. What an extraordinary mind Emily St.John Mandel must have to conceive of and create this story that unfolds layer by layer with subtlety and suspense. I was totally drawn in to this story and couldn't put it down! I will remember this one for a long time. ( )

This is a part of the full review I published on my blog.

An extremely moving novel that delves into the grey areas that makes up every day life. Through the expertly drafted prose, each character springs to life, from each member of the Walker family, to the mysterious Elena and the ever-persistent Alexandra Broden. For fear of giving any of the plot away, I will say that each character must look into the grey areas of life, to determine what is good, what is worth fighting for and to know when to stop. The Singer's Gun contains an expertly crafted plot with several surprise twists that will not only keep the reader engaged, but will make the reader crave discussing the issues. I truly cannot praise this novel enough and my only regret is that I had not read this novel with a colleague so I could discuss the key issues and all those delicately woven grey areas. ( )
