This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Best-selling, critically acclaimed author Mark Helprin's work has drawn favorable comparisons to an elite group of literary legends, including James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Edgar Allan Poe, and Thomas Mann. Helprin's sheer comic brilliance shines in this ingenious farce.

I’m not particularly intrigued by British royalty. I don’t know much about the lineages or the difference between a duke and an earl (should those be capitalized??) But I do know I loved this book. I really loved it. True, I love pretty much all of Mark Helprin’s books, but I sort of thought I wouldn’t be too crazy about this one for some reason. I actually even tried reading it once, but it slid to the middle of the bedside book pile before I’d made it to page 50. I picked it up again after a friend scolded me and was ashamed to have put it down the first time. I can’t remember exactly why, but I did have to struggle just a bit to get past the first section. I think the characters can be so comical that it took some time for them to be something more than just cartoons. Freddy’s serious moments, so wonderful and profound, are made even more so juxtaposed against his absurdity. Their trip through America, and the changes and growth and awakenings and adventures, is not to be missed.

In late 2003, in his column in Entertainment Weekly, Stephen King called The Memory of Running "the best novel you won't read this year." This glowing endorsement of the audiobook resulted in Ron McLarty receiving a $2 million two-book deal from Viking Penguin. Also, Warner Brothers has shelled out big bucks for the movie rights to The Memory of Running, for which McLarty will write the script.

great book
Revisado: 02-10-05
This is an excellent excellent book. I'm so bummed it's over. Great dialogue, great imagery, great story. Ron McLarty's narration couldn't be better - no surprise there I suppose. I am so impressed by how he can perfectly capture a character's personality with such subtle changes in his speech. I loved following along with Smithy on his crazy cross-country adventure - meeting, talking, listening, sharing with all the characters he meets, and having all the back-story filled in along the way as well. The great writing combined with the superb narration make this a top pick for me.
