Tragic perfection
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This excellent, strange, ultra-realistic novel shows that once firmly inside the head of Elliot, the main character, who is perfectly unjudged by his creator, the novelist, you can do almost anything, see everything, unflinching, unblinking. It's almost tragic perfection.
A wonderful reading experience
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
THE FIREBRAT is an amazing novel: addictive, endearing, and startlingly fresh. I don't know of any other book like it. Because of McConnell's remarkable insight into the furnace of the psyche, Elliot, his protagonist and narrator, exists -- from the first paragraph -- as a convincingly odd, unique individual. To read THE FIREBRAT is to live inside Elliot's head for a while; what happens to him happens to the reader. As a result, the climax is as devastating as it is entertaining. I highly recommend this novel.
