Notice Epithetical Books The Flanders Panel

This is a murder mystery fundamentally, but one so cerebral and smart that you may not recognize it. If you like chess, that helps, but I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this intellectual romp. reminiscent of The Eight, but without the fantasy elements.

I wanted so badly to love this book.The simplest way to describe it is the novelisation of Douglas Hofstadter's opus, "Godel, Escher, Bach." In fact, it is impossible to believe that Perez-Reverte had finished G.E.B. more than ten minutes before furiously scribing "The Flanders Panel."I wanted to love it because I love books based on puzzles and logic, and GEB may be one of my favorite books of all time.But the novel is just so weak. The characters (caricatures?) were flat and absurd - how many

Loved it. Like the other one before. I really didn't see it coming :)

I got this as a birthday present and took it with me on our Thanksgiving trip. I wish I had taken the Manhattan phone book instead. It would have had a lot more interesting characters and none of them would be such implausible things as the characters of this novel. The whole structure is so contrived it ultimately collapses under its own weight. The book is built around a convoluted metaphor like "art is chess is life is art," but the harder the author works at it, the more tenuous it becomes.

Overall, I liked this fine. Characters had real depth, were idiosyncratic, querky, troubled, colourful, and well-developed. The plot was complex, and Arturo managed to create an unusual whodunit by peppering his detective story with elements from the arcane worlds of reverse-chess and philosophy of perception. Beginning to sound a little bit weird? Yes that is also what I thought. Sure, Arturo differentiates himself from the pack by writing something I might call a "literary thriller". But I

Actually it is 3,5/5 stars but I didn't have the heart to put only 3 stars in this book!
