Kate’s 2¢: “The Destroyers” by Christopher Bollen
“The Destroyers” by Christopher Bollen
Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as, describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read. I’m just saying…
Graham Halstead did an excellent job of narrating this lengthy story. I’ll look for other stories he’s narrated.
The many individual mosaic tile Bollen crafted came to gether in an intriguing semi-conclusion. Did Charles end his life in the pit or will Bollen write a sequel?
I’m not against “some descriptions of sex”, however, the very graphic descriptions of LGBTQ sex is IYF and TMI. IMHO.
From Wikipedia:
Christopher Bollen (born November 26, 1975) is a novelist and magazine writer/editor who lives in New York City.
Describing his novels, The Daily Telegraph notes that “Bollen writes expansive, psychologically probing novels in the manner of Updike, Eugenides and Franzen, but he is also an avowed disciple of Agatha Christie.”
