Library's review
Indeholder "Bret Easton Ellis: American Psycho", "E. M. Forster: Vejen til Indien (A Passage to India)", "Alex Garland: Stranden (The Beach)", "Raymond Chandler: Den lange søvn (The Big Sleep)", "Joyce Carol Oates: Sort vand (Black Water)", "Aldous Huxley: Fagre nye verden (Brave New World)",
Morsomt kort udgave af 90 romaner. Fx Gulliver's rejser: Gulliver er en fyr, som elsker at rejse. Så efter et skibsforlis strander han i Lilliput, hvor mennesker er meget små. Men han kommer hjem til England igen. Naturligvis må han afsted igen og havner i Brobdingnag, hvor mennesker er meget store. Men igen: Han undslipper. Efter flere rejser og forlis kommer han til Houyhnhnms, hvor heste er kloge og mennesker bestialske. Gulliver vender hjem og kan tale med heste. Hans familie elsker det.
Hver roman er kortet ned til fire ruder i en tegneserie og første rude er altid titlen, så der er faktisk bare tre kvarte sider at gøre godt med. Ok bog til en time i en havestol, hvis man kender bøgerne i forvejen.

In three panels, they summarize the whole story. I'd just listened to Tom Sawyer on tape and it was interesting to see what they boiled it down to. Probably it is more fun if you know the books already. I'd like to try this approach for other things.

I checked this book out on a lark because, really? Look at the cover. The premise is that Lange will sum up for you 90 classic books you should have read. (And really, don't read this if you don't like spoilers. Of course.) In comic form. Each book gets one page, four frames. And for most? The
But the premise is false. This is not a book for people who don't read books. (Unless, I suppose, you're trying to fake being a reader, but even in that case, this won't get you far.) This is a book for readers. Almost without fail, I found the entries for books I'd read, or at least was very familiar with the author, far more interesting and amusing than those I hadn't. And as this work is fairly cynical, I especially enjoyed the treatment of books I didn't like (One Hundred Years of Solitude! The Stranger!), or books I liked but have issues with (The Bible! Bukowski! (ok, seriously, I can't believe I just paired those two for any reason.) "Of Mice and Men!")
I liked it, but would have like it a lot more had I actually read all of the books. And felt more snarky about more of them.

Pretty entertaining. I felt some of the summaries were lacking in important details (of course they are only four panels, but for a few I felt main ideas or main plot items were missing). There were several typos and more serious errors such as referring to Jelinek's The Piano Teacher as The Piano

Player. Perhaps that one was a translation issue. I feel the book could have benefited from serious editing, but I still enjoyed it. Show Less
