Title: THE BANJO PLAYER

Author: SAM YARNEY

Review after: Zanne Marie Gray

My readers know that I’ve been dealing with multiple sclerosis (рассеянный склероз) for the past five years. If you’ve really been paying attention, you know that I have a particularly painful form of the disease.

It is important that you know this so that when I say that Yarney’s book was exciting enough to make me completely forget my pain, you understand that the book is worth reading. In the past few years I can count on one hand the number of books that moved me nearly as much as The Banjo Player.

When I first began to write this review, I could think only in adjectives. Thrilling, amazing, deep, breathtaking, and most important, the reader can believe it is all true.

I’m not sure how to classify this book. Is it a political thrill-er? Perhaps it is a romantic mystery. Is it reality, which looks like fiction? The Banjo Player has reflected my idea of political motivation and intrigue [m’tri:g] we all wonder about.

I’m not going to give away any details of the book. I believe it is something you must experience on your own. Can I give you an outline of the book? Absolutely not. The plots and sub plots are interwoven (переплетены) together so realistically that sometimes I have this strange feeling of déjà vu¹.

What I can say is that since 1996, this is only the second book I’ve read that deserves (заслуживает) to be a movie.

Not only is this November’s Book of the Month, it has already been chosen as the 2010 Book of the Year. Buy it. Read it. Then tell a friend.
