1955: Comments

Comment on "The Trial"

from debono22@hotmail.com from LI, NY

Wow! After reading various short stories of Kafka I decided to tackle one of his longer works. At first,I wasn't quite sure if this was a good idea, since each and every sentence of his works are so very profound, and to indulge myself in "The Trial" would be a very long and tenuous battle. Now that I have treated myself to this fine work of art, I encourage one and all to read it; you will understand yourself a little more, I know I have.

Comment on "The Ginger Man"

from Matt Harris ...ml8130@qmw.ac.uk from London, UK

A Poetic Tour-de-Force
This book, by one of the greatest NATURAL writers of this, or any other century is a MUST READ, especially for any aspiring drunks/womanisers and downright cads out there. The pure poetic quality of the prose in which Donleavey tells the tale of Sebastian Dangerfield, an American studying in Dublin during the 1950s, brings to mind an updated Joyce, only this time there's a decent plot, too! Enthral to Dangerfield's moral decadence, gasp at his wickedness, laugh at his ridicule of Irish Catholic hypocrisy, but most of all, marvel at the work of an exceptional author on the top of his form.

Comment on "The Practice of Management"

from activex@mx2.redestb.es from Spain

Surprisingly ACTUAL
I feel quite stupid when I read the book written in 1954! and noticed that most of the things that today are explained and developed in management books, have already been stated 30 years ago. Not only the author gives the clues to understand the present management techniques but he shows how should be used and why. DO not expend more money in new management books until you have read that first

Comment on "Oklahoma!"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKLAHOMA!
I was in the show on stage... I love the show on video! Though it lacks some of the personal attributes that are gained through the stage version, one can't help but to admire this motion picture. It's GREAT!
