I love a harsh review. Nothing like an annoyed nerd.

Atwood’s The Blind Assassin is far from “excruciating” - rather, what was excruciating, was to hear that “review”

It was shit, though.

Jacobson seemed so pompous and patronising in his assessment of Ishiguro's work. And to think his own Booker Prize winning work is one of the most commercially panned books out there. Serves him right.

What a bad day he must have had when Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize...

Will Self read an adult intelligence level novel in 1hour 53minutes! WOW!! It took me about 3 days to read an abridged children's version of 'Black Beauty' by Anna Sewell.

Well what a fantastic collision, a Booker Winning novelist criticised another Booker Winning novelist 😃 although the gap between their moments of triumphs were two decades 😃 Ishiguro 1989, Jacobson 2010
