More About The Seed Collectors
Skye gli ha detto che si pu chiedere all'universo di fare delle cose, ma bisogna stare attenti a come si formula la propria richiesta. Bisogna sempre chiedere delle cose positive all'universo. Mai dire "non voglio pi essere povero", quando quello che si intende "voglio essere ricco". Perch se usi la parola povero, l'universo la sente, ed quello che ti d. Ma anche chiedere di essere ricchi problematico, e potresti diventare ricco perch tutta la tua famiglia morta. Scarlett Thomas, The Seed Collectors // The clue's always, always, buried deep in the boredom...Where do you feel most bored? Go there. Scarlett Thomas, The Seed Collectors // Now dare to be tragic, for you will be redeemed. Friedrich Nietzsche Ah! Scarlett Thomas, The Seed Collectors: A Novel //
I loved it! The first 200 pages or so (which sounds awefully long, but you're through it in no time at all) reads just like any other mystery/general fiction novel, but with lots and lots of different plants and a LOT of rich white people problems because there are just a LOT of people in this book. I used the family tree a few times... I'm grateful to the publisher and author for letting me have advance copy of this book . I'd been anticipating it for ages - I think Scarlett Thomas blogged the title at least three years ago.And the wait was worthwhile. While I would happily read a telephone directory authored by Thomas simply for the writing, "The Seed Collectors"... I've read a couple of disappointed reviews for this now and I think I liked it more than those people. I'm not disappointed. None of the characters are likeable; this is true. In the end perhaps the wrong people get to escape but all of Thomas ends in enlightenment, and it always feels like a cop-out... I don't know why we're being...
