houstonkp 's review for:
The Luminaries
by Eleanor Catton
If Pale Fire and Middlemarch had a baby, I think it would be something close to The Luminaries. Like a lot of the other reviewers, I approached this with more of a 'summer read' mentality which have left me ignorant of some of the more intricate structures (on the other hand, I'm never going to care about astrological charts).
I enjoyed the slow unveiling of the mystery, and the repetitive nature of the chapters was actually helpful in terms of keeping track of all the characters and their intertwining plots.
