Somewhat melancholy and beautiful book. Up there with "Girl with a Pear Earring." Well worth reading.

At the sentence level, Paul Auster's Winter Journal is very well written. As for the substance, the author's recollections are neither enlightening nor deep (at some point he actually describes a movie he once saw, and he describes it in great detail!) .

Well written at a sentence level. As for substance, it is a long tale about a very uninteresting person. Actually, the book should be called "The Sense of Nothing."

Strange book. It's written well at the sentence level, and it's good in terms of descriptions of family life, etc. Yet, I'm not sure what the author wanted to say.
At the beginning, the main heroin seems to have it all, but she is mildly depressed because her life is not all roses. At the end, she REALLY has things to be depressed about. So what? What's the redeeming value of this novel? What do we learn from it? That tragedies are random? We all know that -- just listen to the radio or read a newspaper. A novel (in my book) has to have a MEANING, which is not present in this book. Very strange.Strange book.

A very informative book written in a rather dry style. Surely you could get more entertainment from watching the Kardishians (if that's your idea of entertainment), but you may get just a little bit smarter by reading this book.

What this book does very well is validating introverts (see comments :)). The truth is that most of us are not clearly either one -- something that author admits, too. This means that the statement like "at least on-third of the people are introverts" is wrong. also, so much is said about Asian culture and its appreciation of studiousness, but look at the list of Nobel Prize (any prize, actually) winners. How many Asians who LIVE in Asia are there? I'd say, the authors conclusions are oversimplified. All in all, it a good enough book, especially for those with children. The problem is that so much time is spent for something that can be just a long magazine article.What this book does very well is validating introverts (see comments :)).
