Before across the Atlantic, people who had sent me to think that with that title, the book had something to do with me. After five years writing under the same pseudonym, those that I have read, or even those who know me, I identify more under the name of Harry, that myself or the diminutive. Undoubtedly, those who sent me and as I indicated in the dedication, thought of me when I saw the library shelf. A Harry, Revised can not speak but a person who is continuously revised, as I have the habit of doing in my personal blog. With my background and the chance of the title of the book, I guess that was the motivation than my good friends was enough to buy it and send me to Nicaragua.
Needless to say, I have a bad habit to read my books in one sitting. In this case it was two days because I do not know what happened, I had to stop reading, I went to bed and I had to leave for the next day. Despite my voracious reading, the book can be read quite well and could even say that I had read in an afternoon, if not, as I said before, because I had to stop reading.
Before you start reading it, I took a while to find out who had written it. Apparently, its author is a blogger Mark Sarvas very famous in the U.S., and this is his first novel. I guess it's the dream of some bloggers, to see published on paper what one writes. I say guess, because sometimes I plan to write something for me to publish it, but I'm too vague and inconsistent to complete a similar project, every time I go from one idea to another, I have difficulties with paragraphs and a tendency to repeat myself. It seems that Marc Savas has done it and began to write, I suppose also encouraged by the success of his blog, the succulent offerings from publishers eager to see new talent 2.0 and the occasional groupie compliment any blogs. To be your first attempt, it has not gone wrong, it has been translated into several languages \u200b\u200band has had good sales. The case is that it reads well, is fun and has some black humor.
On the plot, saying that this is a guy named Harry, who hours after the death of his wife, starts flirting with a waitress. Harry, who wants ligársela knows that being himself is not going to get anything for nothing, and is reinventing itself, following the model of the Count of Monte Cristo. During the course of the novel, Harry is reviewing the stormy relationship with his wife and defining the strategy to woo the waitress, which leads to absurd situations and bizarre. Harry's previous life, based on the lies that continue to drive their marital relationship, give way to a new life that will define through its review and processing to a new person.
I can say that at times I identified with the character and at other times deeply hated it so pathetic and petty it is. However, if something is good is that Harry gives up and tries to change anything that made you unhappy in their previous existence.
who have wondered what happened to Harry and why is revised to read it. Here we always encourage you to read, although we have enjoyed the book, and this time, yes it has. Again, thank my dear friend send me this book, which I enjoyed, despite letting me read in one sitting.
