The Technocrat's Intellectual Review:

Oscar and Lucinda

by Peter Carrey

This book sucks.

I wouldn't have bothered reading it but I was sick and stuck in a foreign hotel room with nothing to do.

There was no plot, no action, no sex, no humour, no witty dialouge, no believable characters and one last minute twist to the tale that was totally out of keeping with anyones previous behaviour.

It started poorly, went down hill in the middle and trailed off at the end.

I urge everyone to never buy this book, and to be safe not to buy, read, or even glance at in a bookshop any book by this author. If we all ignore him he will go away. Capitalism is like that.

In short, only if you want to burn it: Oscar and Lucinda
