Spinners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Loved this book! I had read it many moons ago and then lent it to someone and not got it back. Glad I found it again. I guess it is true what they say about the politics of lending good books. only an idiot lends out a good book - and that it takes an even bigger idiot to return a good book.
almost really great

I found this an excellent book. It had captivating characters and a well-conceived plot, but the ending felt too abrupt and hurried. Otherwise, an engaging read. I'd recommend it!
Wow!

I wasn't prepared to be won over by a book from down under, but Spinners is a complete delight from beginning to end. An unpredictable plot, enticing characters, well-wrought language, steady pace, and a satisfying finish all add up to a whopping good read. I hope this talented New Zealander, who has distinguished himself with notable stage and screen scripts, will turn his pen to prose soon again.
Kept me hooked from beginning to end (and beyond!)

What a joyride this book was! McCarten is brilliant at characterizations-I could easily "see" each and every person he introduced along the way. And the ending...left me wondering if the resolution was what I thought it was! Just wonderful...
Wonderful, unique, bizarre!

This is one of those novels that keeps you scratching your head in wonder, and laughing at the droll humor at the same time. There are echos of William Burroughs (at his most readable) mixed with classic themes and pop-culture. A most heady brew, indeed! Bound to be one of the most notable books of the year. Highly Recommended.
