The Razor's Edge

I don’t think this is a book I could compare with others, it has a unique flavor all of its own. The combination of the time period and the author’s perspective of the story’s characters creates a very interesting sense of coming across a miracle in nature all while preserving an air of mystery around that miracle. I very much enjoyed slowly understanding Larry more and more. The other characters were at best a background to contrast with Larry’s journey. We don’t see much of Larry’s journey because of his own independent temperament, but even still Somerset creates a very detailed report of how he interprets Larry’s inner life. My enjoyment of the story largely stemmed from the fact that I could very much relate to Larry’s quest and quirks. I don’t think I will reread this, but it does leave me wondering if there exists any of Larry’s creations out there somewhere.
