Idol: The must read, addictive and compulsive book club thriller of the summer

Product Information

Alexandra von Tunzelmann has chosen a subject akin to a minefield for her new book, except that the mines are statues and very much above ground . I wish she had a bigger part because I really like her character and think she has a lot of potential. Sometimes, I was even more interested in the backstory – maybe someday there’ll be a prequel that explains all about how the aliens came to Earth and Fort and Doc’s story.

The ending got a bit convoluted and the epilogue was out of context with the rest of the book - but overall it was a good ending to the duology. I thought it would be a good idea for me to try out a few of the idol games available in the west and to talk about them. Whether you're looking for some textbooks for university, the latest biography or a travel guide - you'll find what you need in our categories. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

This timely, sparkling and often hilarious book is all that we have come to expect from Alex von Tunzelmann - witty (often wickedly so) scintillating, skewering pomposity. Trigger alert with sexual abuse/molestation between one of the boys and his father, this is not detailed in-depth but is mentioned and discussed.

Tunzelmann is as skilled a guide as one could wish for; her erudition and light touch are major advantages. I was able to follow the POV jumps a lot better in this book then the previous and it’s enjoyable getting to know each character; their personalities, thoughts and what makes them tick.

I found the last section particularly helpful which helped me gain a better understanding of the effects of pursuing idols and effective ways of dethroning them and putting God back in his place. Margaret threw in all these plot twists, but they were completely predictable and I saw them coming a mile away and I was just skimming by that point.

There are also study questions should you wish to use this as the basis for a book club or other similar meeting.I picked it up knowing it was set in Korea, and I was curious how different it would be from books set in Japan. Whereas ICONS was a fast-paced, rush of a novel, IDOLS is a slow burn, with bits and pieces offered to the reader throughout until the big reveal (and cliffhanger) at the end.
