As gripping and readable as the first one but lacked some of its depth. ( ) I guess I would have preferred for this to go off in a new direction rather than offer a new perspective on characters we'd already met. It makes it a bit weird with a big reveal two thirds of the way through either coming as a complete surprise if you haven't read The Glorious Heresies, or a long overdue clanger getting dropped. The dialog is still top class, but the plotting got a little overwrought and Ryan's back and forth between the women who continuously want to have sex with him despite his weakness and general stupidity is hardly the stuff of Shakespearean tragedy. Still, entertaining, just less so than the previous volume. Continues Ryan's story from her first book. Full of the same wonderful ear for language, this time buried more deeply in the club music nightclub scene. I missed Ryan's family, who only briefly appear here. I think readers would need to read The Glorious Heresies first, as some characters develop here.I'm not sure I'd read another book about Ryan: kept hoping he would choose a different direction. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The second novel from the author of the Baileys Prize-winning The Glorious Heresies 'Fast paced, compelling, and thrilling, Lisa McInerney writes the type of fiction that is both beautifully crafted and immensely enjoyable' Louise O'Neill 'The Blood Miracles has all the brio, street smarts and vicious linguistic verve of The Glorious Heresies, but with this follow up Lisa McInerney also reminds us just how brilliantly accomplished and ruthlessly focused a storyteller she is' Colin Barrett Like all twenty-year-olds, Ryan Cusack is trying to get his head around who he is. This is not a good time for his boss to exploit his dual heritage by opening a new black market route from Italy to Ireland. It is certainly not a good time for his adored girlfriend to decide he's irreparably corrupted. And he really wishes he hadn't accidentally caught the eye of an ornery grandmother who fancies herself his saviour. There may be a way clear of the chaos in the business proposals of music promoter Colm and in the attention of the charming, impulsive Natalie. But now that his boss's ambitions have rattled the city, Ryan is about to find out what he's made of, and it might be that chaos is in his blood. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
