Drop City

hello all....wondering if anyone is familiar with the book Drop City. I'm reading it now and really enjoying it.

 

I read T.C.Boyles book earlier this summer..It was really funny and sad and adventurous. A great story!

 

I ploughed through it in April,its OK but all the backwood stuff went on a bit.

 

I just bought it two hours ago, in english.​

Didn´t start yet, still reading Ash Wednesday (Ethan Hawke).​

 

I had never heard of it before, it was in a box of auction stuff and I just started reading it and can't put it down. It makes me wish even more I grew up in the era my parents did.....

 

Read it the first week of my last holiday. It was really good, a well written story.

 

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE that book. It is quite possibly one of the greatest books I ever read. T.C. Boyle is god!

I´m like half through it now and I really like it so far!!!

But good gosh, there are tons of words in it I ´ve never heard before!! Luckily I have a huge dictionary...
lol

 

what's it about?

 

It's about a hippy commune in California that uproots to Alaska. Well obviously there's more to it than that.

Weep: Never had that problem myself, it seemed pretty straight forward.

 

English is a foreign language to me (and I bought the english version of the book ) and therefor, there are tons of words in this book that I´ve never heard or read before :& (it´s not written as plain and EASY as I was used to read).

 

Oh I see

I'm impressed that you can tackle it though, my German is crap by comparison.

 

i was glad to see pan get his. i didnt like that kid one bit

 

I kinda didn´t like the end of it, it came too fast I still wonder how it would go on with all of them...

 

I'm currently reading this book and am about 3/4 through it. It's a good book and I like it so far, but I don't think it's the best I've ever read. Still, a good story.
Peace.

 

Didn`t read any other Boyle books yet, so I can´t tell if it´s typical or not.

 

awwwww, that`s sooooo sweeeeeet of you!!

You´re a writer? What kinda stuff do you write? Did you published anything yet?
