Recenzii
Cleverly plotted and compulsively readable.
Chilling and suspenseful, rich and human.
Only rarely do a gripping psychological crime story and a literary writer's insight and masterful style coincide. But The Insect Farm has that distinction. You'll read this book fast, so compelling is the story, then-I guarantee-go back and read it again to savor the author's gift for rich, lyrical writing. A tour de force.
The opening few pages of The Insect Farm so grabbed me that I couldn't stop reading. This is one of the most original, surprising, and even shocking suspense thrillers that I've come across in a long time.
The passion and mounting tension, as the plot developed, felt at times almost unbearable, as the author's descriptions of obsession, jealousy and suspicion were gut-wrenchingly convincing.
Complex and interesting.
A wonderfully creepy-crawly suspense novel.
The story is beautiful, with a plot that is as intricate and iridescent as a moth wing. A truly unpredictable ending tops off a skilfully crafted book with poetic prose and refreshingly deep characters. Prebble is truly an artist, and words are his clay.
An interesting and well-crafted book.
