5.0 out of 5 stars what more do you want from a book?, 15 Jun 2004
By A. Hook "andrew17825" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Nicholas Royle has pulled off an enviable feat with "Antwerp", constructing an intelligent, richly-detailed slice of literature that works as a fast-paced, grimly-fiendish thriller whilst also engaging as a vibrant dissemination on life -v- art and the interconnections inbetween.

Royle's prose is elegant and flawless, his descriptions of the city are spot-on, and his handling of plot and tension is both intricate and gripping. Whilst readers of his previous books will note familiar threads (abandoned buildings, the surrealist artist Paul Delvaux, abducted girlfriends - and indeed, "Antwerp" is a loose sequel to "The Directors Cut"), all these familiarities engage in such a way that it feels the previous novels have been building blocks to this one. For previous Royle readers the shared experience creates a multi-layered book from a multi-layered author.

Unequivocably recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Royle's Masterpiece, 15 Jul 2004
Only Nicholas Royle can take you to a world more seedy than you've experienced, and make it a beauitful place. He manages to be entertaining without being flippant, and renders characters who are, at times, frighteningly real. His best book by far, and that's saying something.

5.0 out of 5 stars why isn't this author hugely well known and a bestseller?, 6 Feb 2009
By Judith Franklin (stoke-on-trent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Antwerp (Five Star Paperback) (Paperback)
I endorse the other reviews. This is a beautifully written book and deserves a blockbuster-sized audience. It has all the elements of a first rate crime novel but it's so much better written than most in this genre. I'm told that the sequel to this one, 'Rotterdam'is out next year. Can't wait. It should sell millions.
