Format:Paperback
Black man marries white woman. Black man wants to do the right thing and genuinely loves his wife. Black man is a loser but perseveres and does all right by himself and his wife. I got over half way through this book (winner of the IMPAC award) but found it to be over-written and slightly pretentious, what with quotations from T.S. Eliot and a host of others. I'd love to be able to say that I thought this was a worthy winner of the award but it seems like a bit of a blip to me.

Worthy but dull, I'm afraid. And I'm disappointed to say that because I was looking forward to reading this.

Wonderful! 19 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
I found this book incredibly refreshing and a wonderful read. This is a great story, that although has a rather 'existentialist' feel to it, ultimately lifts above what could have been a very depressing novel. Well done!

Michael Thomas created an evoking character in Man Gone Down. Very intriguing novel which was characterised by intense feeling throughout. i really enjoyed, and would recommend to anyone.
