with great suspicion and delay I began the book HAKUS Pokus.
reasons were many-but the title intrigued me, the description on the cover are not. Smacked a little bit banality, I expected the next text on the same subject, with one small-plot variety to hacking. An additional problem-the two authors. I admit I can not imagine how the co-book by several people. Who offers more, whose proposals win, finally looks like the creative process, whose thoughts are recorded, and whose discarded? Can only one person is responsible for invention of the story, and the other for the same event, and any substantive amendments? What is collaboration? Does anyone have the title of the author's more, and someone less?
These and many other questions I tried to answer before reading.
All my doubts, however, sailed away with reading a few pages.
admit that still, after the great "hocus pocus" and a thorough examination of the book, I still have it ambivalent.
I'm happy, and I'm dissatisfied.
About this, however, in a moment.
novel tells about two adult men cruelly treated by fate, which cross the road as a result of many coincidences.
she, Beatrice, having Polish roots, lives and works in Chicago as a psychologist. There he suffers from bipolar disorder, his mother, who is permanently transferred to the closed ward. Father's heroine is not never met.
He, Robert, was a Polish mathematician, an employee of the company in charge of hacker CounterVision catching holes in security systems, companies and institutions against hackers, just separated from his wife when he discovered that it no longer wished to be Christina, but ... Chris and I geared up for gender reassignment surgery.
None of the two heroes do not save lives. They meet in the company of Robert, where Beatrice is hired as a shrink. Quickly establish a common understanding between them and the events which rapidly changing turn of events and lead to surprising discoveries, they will attempt their intimacy.
text is filled with retrospectives, memories, which can be very easy to catch because they are in italics. The language is simple, clear, trying to be a representation of everyday. But I think that the authors of this plane fell into the trap. The repeated 'fuck' a conflict with the language used earlier, gave the impression of strength wtłoczonego, unnatural. Although the assumption was probably quite the opposite- unfortunately, in my opinion, the whole effect was frustrated.
The great advantage of the novel are subtle threads of love ending the feeling of two people in the bedroom. Such as plastic-like, but not vulgar; unspoken, undefined, allowing indulge the imagination ... or keep it in good time.
HAKUS temptations definitely worth reading and the reader's attention. Despite the apparent insignificance and triviality, is really a song about good and evil, the choices which we make daily, and the consequences they bring. Above all, though, is perfectly balanced novel that is neither trivial or novel of psychological romance novels, or full of jargon hacker tomiszczem science. What can I say-the authors found a happy medium to satisfy the reader both a male and a female reader.
