This book is very strange and confusing. I pushed through and read to the end, hoping that at some point there would be a revelation that caused everything to make sense. Sadly, this never came. Even after finishing the book, I still really had no idea what had been going on through the entire book. I think it had an interesting premise, but it was too disjointed for me to follow the plot. (  )1 PhDinHorribleness | Jun 6, 2014 | Ressenya escrita per a Crítics Matiners de LibraryThing .and unfortunately, it has taken this long to finish it. This is a slim volume and though I've have been backed up with school work, the real problem I've had, is that I just didn't enjoy the book. I was excited to try it, since it seemed to contain elements of science fiction, fantasy and noir mystery. I mean, a psychic magician who communicates with aliens from another dimension and acts as a hitman when needed! Looked interesting. The problem is, this isn't really a science fiction, fantasy or noir story. It really seems more like Mr. Dunn's existential look at the universe, reality and our place in it. If this has been part of the description of the book, I think a different set of people would have been interested in obtaining a copy. As it was, I think it was marketed to the wrong audience than it was intended to reach. For a 222 page novel, there are too many different ideas running around within the pages and they're all told from the point of view of a magician who seems to be mentally unstable, by use of 'stream of consciousness'. I don't like 'stream of consciousness' as a rule (I did learn to appreciate 'Ulysses')and this was no exception. I'm not going to talk about the story. You can find descriptions when you look up the book. I'm not going to say this is a bad book, because it may be very good. It's just not what was expected. If you're looking for a ripping good yarn, this might not be it. It may be a good book, but I've got to rate it on how it worked with me, and unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it."

I received a review copy of My Name is Dee by Robin Wyatt Dunn through Librarything.com.I did not get very far through My Name is Dee before I put it down. It is too similar to so many of the SF books I have received through Member Giveaways. I am tired of stream of consciousness writing from entities transforming or being transformed by forces that are meant to be revealed late in the text. Would some Member please Give me a book with a coherent plot? (  )1 Dokfintong | Jan 3, 2014 |
 "I would be derelict not to inform you that this novel is thoroughly in love with Los Angeles, which serves not only as the setting, but also as one of the “characters.” Oh! and Foo fighters are critical elements of this plot … they assist in the protection of Earth even while we persist in shooting them down for the crime of stealing our cows." "This is a book that readers will either love or find frustrating—there is no room for the in-between."
John Dee is a magician in Los Angeles. He is going insane. My Name Is Dee is a ruthless, tightly plotted noir that shies away from easy explanations and easily defined heroes and villains. It is a novel for the educated reader who enjoys noir action, intrigue and dark romance, for the child in all of us who wants to go on adventures, and for the fearful adult too who marvels at the terrifying scale of this universe. John Dee is a magician, but he's chiefly a Hollywood fixer: he makes things happen for the monied, including murder. In "moral compensation" for his services as a ruthless mercenary, Dee has sworn to himself to protect writers in Los Angeles from the dark energies of the city. One such writer, Sandra, his friend, is then kidnapped. The noir trajectory of Dee's search for the missing woman takes the reader on a journey from Los Angeles into the corridors of the human mind as Dee fights psychic battles with an autistic boy named Johnny, into the eternally complex relationship between "natural" and "artificial" intelligence as Dee learns to love his AI son Albert, and into xenopolitical relations between humans and Foo, the neighboring aliens in their UFOs, and further with Chaimougkos, a huge interdimensional alien presence whose will, aims and extent of influence appear vast. To rescue the girl and save his own life, Dee must come to understand himself, must reconcile with his AI son, must, dare I say it, battle interdimensional aliens. And he must choose what moral course his life is going to take: can he stand to still wear the grey hat? No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
