Why read it?
2 authors picked The Third Realm as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I read everything Karl Ove Knausgaard writes -- the thousands and thousands of pages he's penned. I have heard he's called the modern day Proust, and I would second that. In his My Struggle, almost nothing happens, yet it's impossible to put down. In this series, which started with The Morning Star, much happens, but we still get the rich internal life of the characters in their first person perspective. The Third Realm is the third of four books in the series, and I can't wait for the next one to be translated into English. I love listening to Knausgaard…
The Third Realm completed the Morning Star trilogy; as a set they provide many hours of intelligent and captivating reading, plunging you into a dystopian world that is disturbing but credible. Along the way, it can be really funny as many of the characters reveal themselves to be pretty ghastly despite their complains about their lives.
