Tony and Susan: Now the major motion picture Nocturnal Animals

I feel a bit let down by this book. It was given some very positive reviews from writers I respect and had been compared to The Road. It shouldn't have been. Although the first couple of chapters are powerful and boded well, it tails off into two interwoven and uninvolving stories of a kind of spagetti western and a bloodless amicable divorce and remarriage between three tedious people.There are moments of good and thought provoking prose, he's good on the fluctuating thoughts of the cowardly Tony and the indifference of the criminal Ray, but equally some really bad too, grief is barely touched on and is treated unrealistically. While the author seems rather pleased with himself for having one of his main characters write a really good book.

I loved this book and told many friends about it after reading it. I found myself thinking about it for months after reading it. Suddenly out of no-where pieces of it would come back to me and give me the chills. I subsequently saw the film Noctural Animals and, as often happens, while I found the movie was excellent and extremely stylish, I enjoyed the book a bit more. It is a dark read but very well done. Enjoy!

This is two novels in one.The outer novel is about Susan,Edward and Arnold,the inner novel is about Tony,and a variety of characters both dubious and otherwise.It moves along quite well,and the different format did appeal.I found the end rather disappointing.I do not know quite what I expected, but it seemed rather like a damp squib. It is one pof those books once read you would not particularly want to read it again,however long the gapI had not heard of the author previously, but read a review of the book,and it seemed quite interesting.I am not sure it claims as a masterpiece are justified,but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless.

If I was a literary academic I could give this a much better review. The style of writing is different and jarred for the first chapter but then became one of the best characteristics of the book. Suffice to say the book called to me in my sleep and o woke up at 3am to read some more.

A boring story with characters you can't relate to.

Exactly as expected

I bought this book for my daughter, she loved it

I read this book as it was recommended by a number of people however I did feel disappointed with the ending. The book begins well it is engaging and instantly grabs your attention with an opening which is full of suspense and danger. However I felt that after the first section the plot dragged too much and the ending was far too detached and surreal for my liking. After building up to the climax I felt let down with numerous questions left unanswered. This would not be a book that I would chose again.
