Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Like John Kennedy Toole, Tangherlini's reputation will be established with a posthumous, single novel. Tangherlini succeeds wonderfully with his postmodern coming-of-age story. "Leo," a 14-year-old Asian American girl named Leonora, is thrown out of countless schools before she is sent to live with her grandmother in the Philippines. For entertainment, the young genius cavorts in the virtual reality program Apeiron, role-playing as the warrior Fergus and leaving behind her awkward, adolescent life. Within Apeiron, Leo learns about the computer-generated universe, Dlon. Once within this universe, she attempts to locate a missing boy she likes named Bri. She descends into Dlon's circles of hell, accompanied by Fra Umberto, a Dominican monk, and battles fantastic monsters and demons. Her biggest confrontation, however, will be with herself. Leo@fergusrules.com pays enormous tribute to Dante's Inferno, but Tangherlini has created his own unique and sophisticated masterpeice.AFaye A. Chadwell, Univ. of Oregon Libs., Eugene

Format:Taschenbuch
This book is brilliantly witty-the first page I laughed twice-and the first chapter sticks in one's mind for its beautiful imagery (Leo describing her relationship with Bri) and Leo's sharp and amusing asides. The ending is surprising in its abruptness-it leaves the reader feeling slightly cheated, but this is a memorable story, well worth the read, and I'll be surprised if you don't go back with Leo to Apeiron often.
Format:Taschenbuch
I enjoy reading a book with an engaging plot involving interesting and well drawn characters. I appreciate a book with hidden meanings, literary references, and that delivers a worthwhile message. I found that I appreciated this book more than I enjoyed it.
Like Alice in Wonderland, this book lacks a typical plot that serves to keep a reader engaged. Instead what you have is a series of disorienting disconnected fantasies involving colorful fanciful characters -- every bit as good as those that appear in Alice in Wonderland but with a modern flavor.
Best enjoyed, I bet, by someone who is well-read, this is an interesting novel that in the end delivers an unmistakable and worthwhile message. I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoyed Alice or who spends a lot of time with computers.
Format:Taschenbuch
Funny that almost to the day of the author's death, a young Pilippina and her boyfriend seem to have launched the Love Bug virus. Are Leo and/or Brie to blame? The virus can only be something from Dløn. God I love this book and the bizarre ways it intersects with reality.
