I teared up reading "Wake" and "Fade." This book left me completely cold. There is no mystery in this book, no love, no real emotion.
We are left with shower romps instead.Ī disappointment and, compared to first 2 books (which I just re-read), pretty much a disaster. Janie is suddenly secretive and insincere, Cabel is an insensitive, self-centered jerk, Carrie - potty-mouth white trash, etc. The main characters are unrecognizable, there is no longer any depth to them. There is a lot of moping around, going back and forth, pointless often crass or raunchy dialog, but very little substance.
There is no real story, "Gone" is basically an artificially extended epilogue full of filler. Who would have thought that McMann, a master of succinct and intense writing, can cook up a book which, with its 214 pages, seems so overlong, pointless and emotionless? Who would have thought I'd have to skim over some pages to be finally done with it? My opinion doesn't have anything to do with the ending, even though so many are upset about it, but rather with the fact that the novel is just simply badly written.
