White Apples Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Vincent Ettrich suddenly discovers he has actually been dead for months. Things get stranger when he finds out he's being hunted and that his girlfriend is pregnant with his child. I like the author's quirky and unusual ideas about death and the afterlife. I also really enjoy fantasy books set in the everyday world, so this really appealed to me. "

" His worst...not terrible...but very far from worth reading if you have not read everything else first. "

" Work of Art, Masterpiece... call it what you want... this book is simply a "must read" "

" Very good book by one of my favorite authors. "

" Must try more books from this author! "

" A writers book, more than a readers book, J. Carroll's White Apples is a weird character study of Vincent Ettrich, a middle aged, well to do gentleman, who is a bit of a player with the ladies. Vincent wakes up one day to discover he is dead, and through the dreamscape world Carroll creates, must pass through many strange scenes of his present and past. In reading this book I was struck by the great writing, moving from strange scene to strange scene, wondering if I was something of a "dog at the opera" in not totally understanding what was happening. The ended helped reveal something of the mystery of the story. Like a rich cake I had trouble getting through this book, but enjoyed it. "

" Ossignur.(commento spudoratamente "non utile" o "interessante" per l'utenza di Anobii...ma , oh siii......liberatorio!) "

" absolutely amazing story. If you want to learn something about yourself, this book will certainly teach you something. "

" Having a hard time getting into this book. I keep putting it down and picking up DAPHNE novel instead. Not a good sign. "

" File under ' interesting ' .... "

" What a great story - it has romance, surrealism, life, death. It was like Matrix movies - but with more depth and romance. "

" This was an excellent book. I highly recommend it. Weird and compelling. "

" Carroll is hands down my favorite author. White Apples is one of favorites of all time. "

" A strange and imaginative book with a very unique plot, reading Carroll is a very different experience like reading Paul Auster. "

" love it !! :) "

" wonderfully wonderful. "

" This is a really dark book. Wonderful images, but some really graphic senseless violence that haunts me even today, almost a year later. "

" Kind of a long-winded preface to The Wooden Sea...much of the same ideas are hashed and rehashed at great length. Takes away from the story a bit. Prefer The Wooden Sea, though this will clue you in to some of the history of the characters. "

" Interesting story but the characters were a bit flat for me and the preachy mosaic god bit was mostly just boring. I really wanted to like it and am considering reading the sequel just so I can feel less like I hit the end of the season cliffhanger. "
