skmiles 's review for:

The MANIAC by Benjamín Labatut
4.0
dark reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: N/A
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: N/A

While not as mind boggling at his last book, The Maniac is nevertheless a poetic and deeply strange attempt to bring science and technology to literature, to understand the people and ideas behind the nearly maniacal creations of the twentieth century. A mesmerizing read.
