Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian (review)

Double Bind. Where do I begin? I’m giving it 3 stars b/c it IS well written & the way Chris B.
describes things is pretty cool – I couldn’t even begin to think like he does to write / describe like that.
On the other hand – the book was kind of crazy. With the references to the Great Gatsby
I am wondering if I would have had a better understanding of the book had I re-read Gatsby
first before diving into Double Bind? Also – the ending really throws you for a loop.
I almost feel like I need to re-read Double Bind again to better understand the book?
I’ve hear it likened to the movie Sixth Sense – whereas – when you find out the ending
it helps you understand the WHOLE movie so if you watch it again you say AHA.
I’m not saying to NOT read Double Bind however if you chose to read it be forewarned
you are really going to want to re-read it to understand it.
