An awesome read that whiled away a long airport layover

Recently I had a 10-hour layover at the Zürich airport. The wintery weather ruined my plans of a visit to the city. Thankfully, I had just bought Mervyn Nel's latest novel in South Africa. This page-turner (like his first novel "Theft from Delos") not only kept me occupied...it engrossed me up to the last surprise-filled chapter!

Although the story-line is quite different from his first novel (despite both revolving around daring heists), it shares the author's signature style of strongly appealing to both the intellect as well as the senses. It is evident that he does meticulous research on all of the settings in his books, so that were you to actually visit Venice (or Delos and the surrounding islands) you would most likely experience a strange sense of déjà vu!

The sensory nature of his books makes them feel/look/smell/sound more like vivid movies. I am convinced that both his books are begging to be turned into fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat motion pictures.

The characters in "The Priest and the Gondolier" leap from the pages of the novel. You definitely feel you want to avoid the "bad guys" in a dark alley! More importantly, the protagonists all have their own unique qualities and charms (my favourite is Chief Superintendent Gina Rossi) and deserve even more elaboration...I think the "The Priest and the Gondolier" most certainly deserves a sequel that will allow Gina Rossi and Harry Wilson (an Interpol art expert) to unravel and resolve a number of very promising sub-plots!

Valuable analysis

Important and extensive review of technology translation in South Africa.

Finding Endurance...and finding a gem

I have been struggling to find books that I enjoy for some time now, especially with fiction. I ordered Finding Endurance on whim, having seen many positive views on the Good Book Appreciation Society's Facebook page, but I thought it might be yet another book that I ditched 100 pages in/100 pages from the end because I really didn't care what happened to the characters. How wrong could I be? I've been obsessed with polar travel for years, but I knew that this book was not going to be another rehash of the amazing Shackleton and his achievements. Well, it blew my hair back, as they say in the classics. Darrel Bristow Bovey has created a masterpiece! It is funny, sad, mind-blowing and the best book I've read in years. It is certainly the best South African book in a VERY long time. I'm telling everyone to read it, as i think everyone will get something out of it. I'm dreading finishing it, and may have to just read it again immediately!
