Recenzii
"What
we
have
here
is
a
heartwarming
tale
of
redemption,
with
an
absolutely
fantastic
array
of
characters,
that
I
already
miss,
and
a
brilliantly
plotted
story,
I
have
to
admit.
I
loved
it."
"Expect the unexpected at every turn of the page. Kosmos is a story like no other. Completely different, charming, and an enormous amount of fun."
"Adrian Laing has concocted a tale of awe-inspiring wonder. The cover is awesome, but the story is beautiful. I don't read the synopsis before I start books; I go by the book cover alone. It makes the reading experience more exhilarating. I like to live dangerously. For me, KOSMOS is one of the biggest surprises of 2018."
"Author Laing, a lawyer himself, is of course strong on the nuts, bolts and arcane tool box of the legal system. He also displays an enjoyable relish for the grubby realities of how and where the law and its representatives ply their trade. If you want to know what it feels like to walk into Brixton prison and interview a prisoner in a cell, its sights, sounds, smells and atmosphere then he’s an expert witness. Merlin remains an elusive figure throughout the book, sometimes shambling and mildly pathetic, at others assertive and strong. By degrees we learn to accept him by his own definition and Laing gradually fleshes out a mythological Scottish back story that begins to swell like a rising dawn over the Callanish standing stones. As the novel unfolds we find a moral strand running through Merlin’s Celtic polytheism that asserts itself at a critical moment when grasping financial opportunism threatens to overwhelm George and Heathers' better instincts. At his best, Merlin is an external emblem of our own instinctive inner voice, the one we often ignore to our cost."
