Format:Hardcover
The Interrogative Mood is a fiction made up entirely of questions, but I had imagined that like a 'conventional' novel it was going to have a narrative. In fact it's much stranger than that and less pin-down-able. The questions are put to you, the reader, to answer, and many are thought-provoking, some are silly, some are odd enough to suggest something of the mind of the questioner. But I never really got to the bottom of what was happening, and although the overall effect was interesting (and my mind would wander back to the questions over the next few hours) I didn't end up moved.
Is a book simply made up of questions a thinking tool, an open-ended piece of poetry, or a pleasant waste of time? Possibly all three.

Is this book a novel? Is it a work of non-fiction? Is it even a book? What would you say if I said this was just a list of questions? What if they are humerous, interesting, thought provoking questions? Does the book warrant the hype it has received? Will you read it in a day like I did but think about it for many days afterwards? Is the format a conceit too far? Do you wish you'd had this idea first and made a fortune out of it? Is it worth the money? Why is this the first review of the book on Amazon UK when the book's been out a fortnight? Is this even a review? If so, isn't this a predictable and indeed pretentious way to do the review? Is the book worth buying? How many stars have I given this book? Am I taking this concept too far? Who said "yes" to the last question?

A most amusing book which you can dip in and out of at will. Well worth taking the time to read and then use it for quotes etc., I have enjoyed the book and now it goes as a present to a member of the family.
