I found this to be a bit of a slow read, but I did find a few areas of it funny. The biggest was his wife, she seemed to be so plain and uncaring. She never really says much to show that she truly loves her husband. She's very fast to accuse him and to leave him! This paragraph, page 396, Kirsten appeared at the doorway to the room, an armload of pale brown groceries gripped. "Why are you home in the middle of the day?" Her voice, in an eternity of sameness, was accusing. "Did I go to Mars" he asked her. "You would know.".....then after a small conversation she says, "Dous, if you don't pull yourself together, we're through. I'm going to leave you." After he explains that hes in trouble, she puts down the groceries and leaves!!!! WHAT!!!! Who in their right mind does that!!!! It's like she had no connection with him at all!!!

I also felt that that was a bit strange, that a wife would act like that about her husband. As if she doesn't even care for him at all. But maybe, like the movie that's why she left, is because she knew he was catching on to who he really was, maybe just like the movie she was a spy as well. Planted there to make him doubt and forget?
ReplyDeletemaybe, I think if she was that the author might have given more of a spy role to her, like ask him what he remembers of mars, instead of saying hes drunk. Just little clues like that would have made the spy in the movie more believable to me.
