Raw Shark Texts

[Ya Sam]

Anyone read it yet?

"Steven Hall's first novel, "The Raw Shark Texts," is wonderfully ambitious, 
even exuberantly so. At times, it seems as if Hall must have written it 
while hopping up and down with excitement, like a 6-year-old recounting his 
first trip to the circus. Paced like a thriller, the book thinks like a 
French theorist and reads like a deluge. The end result is a fun, quirky, 
very British love story. But unlike most first novels, it is a hard book to 
qualify. Perhaps Herman Melville meets Michael Crichton, or Thomas Pynchon 
meets Douglas Adams. No matter, the book is full of big, wild ideas brought 
to gloriously convoluted fruition." ...
