I liked the theme and the ideas behind the book, but something about the characters left me cold. (  ) GaylaBassham | May 27, 2018 |  Very good indeed. It's a little shaggy in places but the writing is beautiful and it is just a smart novel - filled with ideas and things to ponder. Shocking - in a good way - ending. (  ) laurenbufferd | Nov 14, 2016 | I wanted to like this book more than I did. I liked the theme and the ideas behind the book, but something about the characters left me cold. ( ) gayla.bassham | Nov 7, 2016 | Good book, but doesn't cover ground that hasn't been written before. ( ) jimifenway | Feb 2, 2016 | While not nearly as good as his short stories this is still a good story about how greed in the financial markets can easily bring the financial system down.

 In “Union Atlantic,” swiftly and confidently, Haslett unwinds the ball of yarn that is the global financial crisis to reveal its core: a knot of ineluctable yearnings and individual needs.  “Union Atlantic’’ is a smart, eloquent novel about our financial wrack and ruin, but it’s also a fun novel, notable for its ability to be both brainy and soap-dishy. Haslett is a major talent. Union Atlantic should cement his reputation as one of America's great young authors -- there aren't many writers this original, and this intelligent, both intellectually and emotionally, around these days. It's been years since a novel has captured the zeitgeist of contemporary America this well; it's been years since a new author has convinced us, with just two books, that there might be nothing he can't do. A lumpy, disappointing book: at times, gripping and keenly observed, but more often strangely implausible and contrived. Pertany a aquestes col·leccions editorialsrororo (25258)
