Peter Abrahams' Nerve Damage
A well-known sculptor, still in love with the wife who died 15 years earlier, manages to get a copy of his pre-written obituary and reads that his wife, who he believed worked for a think tank, worked for the UN. As he investigates this bizarre anomaly, he gets in some pretty deep stuff. I actually thought it was going to turn out that he was imagining the whole thing--there are a few red herrings that made me think so, or else I just assumed there was more to the story than this silly mystery/adventure plot. But it's pretty surface-level. The ending was really abrupt and kind of dumb, but it was entertaining enough. Maybe this was more of a beach book. B/B-.
Off to see Knocked Up!
Did you like knocked up? I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI totally loved it! I've been crushing on Seth Rogen for years, so it's great for him to finally get to be a leading man, get critical attention, etc. And who knew Bill Haverchuck would grow up so cute???
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize it was him until I read about it online :-)
