Formerly a status with comments, but reviewfied and expanded per NR'S request. I like this format better, anyway, because the character limits don't keep me down and limit my creativity as much as those status updates. Consider this my version of sticking it to the man, man! *Insert bong hits.*The Fifty Year Sword is a special book. Not because of its content, which is as I suspected so average it's average, but because my reading of it marks the only time in my wunnerful wunnerfulMoved to http://covers2covers.wordpress.com/20...
1) Objective description, 2) my review, 3) recapitulation of format.1) Every other page is blank, the reason for this is not readily apparent (even after reading the book). The pages with text comprise at most 1/5th of a full page, and at minimum a single word "me." The margins (in all four edges) are generous. In total, the book comprises ~30 full pages of text, and that approximation is generous. The artwork is very fine, and the pages are printed on thick paper. The physical quality of the

I don't normally rate books that I do not finish, based primarily on having suffered through some very bad beginnings only to be surprised and happy by the end. As a library aide, I also have no desire to discourage reading, that would be bad for business! I am making an exception to The Fifty Year Sword however, as this book is, quite frankly, a waste of the paper it's printed on. (And I do mean that, as only every other page actually has words printed on them and most pages only have a few
validation! http://www.salon.com/2013/11/07/gifs_...candy??what's this??okay, so maybe it's not as bad as all that. and maybe as a live shadow show "performed only on halloween night," this would have been more enjoyable to me. but as a book read on halloween night, by someone desperate for distraction after being a hurricane shut-in for a week, it was pretty but not terrifically entertaining.pretty isn't cutting it.come to my blog!
This is the first Danielewski I've read, and I definitely dug it. Thread and blades and some beautifully crafted lines. Plus I love a book that feels expansive but still reads in a single gulp. The art component is a great touch too. For those in the indie scene, this reminded me in parts of Shane Jones's The Failure Six. Give it a read. Even if you hate it it will only take about an hour or so of your time.
This is not a book for story, although that is compelling as well, it is a book for experience. As often with Mark Z. Danielewski's books, it's about how the story is told and presented on paper more than the actual events happening. The design adds to the experience of the story.Even though I loved it I can see people not enjoying it at all.On a reread I discovered so many more things and understood what didn't make sense on a first read as I concentrated much more on the story and word play.
