I wonder what would have happened to him.Īll in all, a good read. well, I can see why the author would leave it open-ended, but I wanted to see Nick go down the hole. Maybe that's a fucked up thing to want, but it would have been more satisfying, to have her be blown up because the Funhole didn't want her, the ultimate fuck you.Īnd as for the very end. But I wanted to see her jump in and get blown to bits, like the mouse. True, Nakota was killed, and was prevented from entering the Funhole, which is what she wanted most of all, so in a sense she got what she deserved.
I think this is one reason that I found the ending to be disappointing. Koja is also a prolific author of short stories, including many in collaboration with Barry N. She was initially known for her intense speculative fiction for adults, but has written young adult novels, the historical fiction Under the Poppy trilogy, and a fictional biography of Christopher Marlowe. The rest were annoying, and I grew to really dislike Nakota. Kathe Koja (born 1960) is an American writer. The only ones I came close to liking were Nicholas, Randy, and Vanese. I don't mind a large cast of characters, but an interesting thing about this novel is how friggin' bleak it is, and how unlikable the characters are. The book dragged a bit in the middle, with the extra characters and whatnot. The Three Californias Trilogy (also known as the Wild Shore Triptych and the Orange County Trilogy) consists of three books by Kim Stanley Robinson, which depict three different possible futures of Orange County, California.The three books that make up the trilogy are The Wild Shore, The Gold Coast and Pacific Edge. But after a couple of days I picked it back up, because I just had to know what was going on with that hole, for better or worse.
I'm an avid horror lit reader, but gross-out horror isn't really my cup of tea, and that sex scene with the dead mouse head on Nakota's nipple.
