Eric Nelson

Medieval soap opera with violent sex scenes. A high school boy might like this book.

Incoherent ramblings of a madman.

Probably his greatest book. Far more interesting than 1984 or Animal Farm.

Could have had more connection to Mexico's rich, deep and dark history instead of being a simple horror novel that could have been located in Ohio.

Greene appears obsessed with relatively trivial matters of the heart - his little affairs, adultry, unfairness to his snobby wife and his Catholic guilt, yet ignores the real heart of darkness in West Africa - the evils of colonialism and the trans-atlantic slave trade, which do not warrant even a passing mention.
