What does /lit/ think?

It's like Harry Potter but for old people.

Saw the movie. Pretty lame. There was a cool sex scene midway through but that's about it.

This.

>> No.831381

pretty decent. you'll like it if you are into thrilling novels on murder, rape and conspiracies. It won't bore you a single page, but it's anything but a highbrow novel whose characters discuss highly philosophical issues....

Are you saying that Tao Lin is a good writer, making him "more good" than Stieg Larsson? Or are you saying that Tao Lin is horribly shitty, and being worse than Tao Lin makes Larsson especially, horribly shitty?

It's not very rapey most of the time, but when it is, it is exceedingly so.

Mind you, the first novel is slow, as it is much more of a mystery novel than a crime novel. It has your locked room mystery (replace room with island) and your huge rich-and-old-family with a ton of family history, and so forth. It's almost like Agatha Christie but with extra rape.

The second and third books are much more in the way of crime and political thrillers.

The board is titled literature as in the printed page, not the literature genre.
