Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Dreams of Sex and Stage Diving

Elfish is amoral, ego-centric and absolutely fascinating. Elfish is obsessed about claiming the name Queen Mab for her band (which currently has no members) before her ex-boyfriend can claim it first. While plotting a way to claim the name by reciting the entire monolog from Romeo and Juliet while playing on stage, she engages in odd behavior like calling up said ex-boyfriend and pretending to be her ex-friend. And then there is her quest to sleep with as many of his former lovers as possible. It's an odd story full of odd, yet richly engaging characters. How can you not love a book that describes it's main character thusly, " As a friend of the human race, Elfish is a failure. As a stage diver, she is a complete success"?

Write Up Based On Books Dreams of Sex and Stage Diving

Uno dei pregi di questo libro è il saper creare un piccolo universo, dove tutti conoscono tutti e nutrire la lettura di una sorta di empatica e rapida familiarità con i personaggi...Un libro scritto bene e con il linguaggio di un amico, i personaggi curiosi, fisici, poetici, una trama fatta di piccole grandei gesta... e poi c'è la Regina Mab, la Queen Mab, che vi insegnerà a non "far finire i vostri sogni sulla luna"...

I loved this book....It was a good quick read and I loved how the main character was mean,insensitive,dirty,stubborn and manipulative and yet all at the same you wanted her to win and you almost even liked her evil ass.

The book was a fun little story that drifted between gritty realism and an adult fairy story. Set in Brixton in the 90s among squatters unable to fulfill any of their dreams, it was full of characters who were upset of relationships, and their inability to get anything done. There was also a very cool video game that was being written by the main characters brother which was definitly the funniest part of the story. It was an enjoyable book, and much better than most modern fiction I've read

una morale discutibile ma tutto sommato a buon fine, un paio di scene di sesso divertenti, personaggi che sembrano usciti da un documentario sul mondo crust a cavallo tra gli '80 e i '90 e a dirla tutta il videogioco di aran è un'ottima trovata. però sto romanzo proprio non sta in piedi, e nonostante tutta la simpatia che ho per le cose sopra elencate (e per "fate a new york", l'altro romanzo di millar che ho letto) e per lo stile che comunque c'è, non riesco a trovare un motivo per salvarlo...

Ever have one of those narcissistic friends that you can't help... staying friends with? That's Elfish. She is a rather horrible person that will do anything to achieve her one goal (to have the name Queen Mab for her non-existent band). This leads to Elfish lying, stealing, and messing with everyone in her life in any way possible. And throughout... I found myself cheering for her (while also hoping that she gets what's coming to her). That's impressive writing, Martin Millar. Plus, it's pretty

Really enjoyable book to read. Loved his characters as I always do. His descriptions are so real and clear. I like how he wove in such odd and fanciful ideas into the story (e.g. hardcore rock bands quoting Shakespeare etc). Much as I love Millar, the ending left me a little disappointing. It was a little too scripted (is that the right word??) and definitely too predictable, which normally I wouldn't mind because his writing style is so involving and captivating but I guess this time it didn't
