Graffiti Hack A Novel Elen Ghulam 9780978187217 Books Reviews

Interesting and fun, this is a book about assumptions and ... design.

Nelly arrives in the US from a culture obsessed with decorations and inanimate beauty. Working as a graphic designer, she attempts to inspire her colleagues with fairy tales, and strikes up a friendship with an elevator. She then turns her hand to hacking websites to beautify them...

The storytelling method was an embellished one and, although giving the feeling of being over-written at the start, begins to work on the reader. The story of loneliness is strong, but unfortunately gets lost in the narration and slow pace. But the quirkiness was interesting and, if you're up for a 'different' read, this may be for you.

*I received a review copy of this book from the author. This is my honest review.
This book shows a lot of promise. The ARC I downloaded did not have over 200 pages. Instead, it had an introduction which described scenery. I need to tell you that the fact I received this as a free ARC did not change my perspective about the book.

The plot idea it described was interesting--an immigrant from a society that took colors and scents more seriously than we do learning how to hack into a government mainframe. Unfortunately, I did not get a sense of how the main character felt our computer system was lacking--did it lack compassion, was it too interested in saving money or spending money on specific people? (I admit this is a concern of mine as well.) All I was able to see was descriptions of how color was used in this fictional society that strangely reminded me of Dragon Age's Quinari people.

How could the use of color and scent correct computer programs, how could it fix our difficult medical system? How could we actually cure folks of conditions if it is so much more profitable to sell drugs to "manage" the disease while making the person suffer and die more slowly?

I cannot recommend this book as I did not know where Elan Ghulam was going with the descriptions of the society the immigrant (Nelly_ came from. What did the person feel was lacking in our world? I would have liked to know the answer.

I feel like I read a draft of the book, rather than the book itself. If the author comes up with a more decisive voice (again, note my ARC was much shorter than the book claims to be) for the protagonist, I would not mind rereading it.

In the meantime, I would wait to purchase this book. I want to see it when it is actually finished.
This book is a whole lot of fun. Nelly's hilarious mental machinations take her on some possibly ill-advised but entertaining adventures.

I'm a big fan of Elen Ghulam's writing. She has a dry, witty, deep sense of humor and a keen insight into many aspects of this grand world we live in.

Brava and Encore !!!
Very unusual. There was a gentle humour at the beginning and then the story seemed to drift in many directions, too many directions.
