Criticize About Books Windows on the World
Windows on the World is quite a depressing piece of French literature at times because of its subject matter, but it captures New York around the .com boom pre-9/11 perfectly, and its characters feel just like real people, making the book all the more powerful and memorable.

French author Frederic Beigbeder's novel "Windows on the World" has certainly garnered quite a wide range of reviews as posted on AmazonUSA. I came to this novel relatively late; six years after its initial publication in French and subsequent translation to English for sale in the US and the UK.I have never been able to read a work of fiction about the attacks of September 11th, 2001. I start them - and most are very good - but can never seem to stick with the book after the first chapter or

I read this book three years ago and all I remember is the description of a couple having sex while the building starts to collapse. Unnecessary provocation IMHO. Apparently this is the way a French person deals with trauma... Oh I'm sorry is it a stereotype? Well, kinda well deserved!

The idea I liked and found in this book: the break in the life of generation. Generation of 50-a, 60-s, 80-s, 90-s. All of them have their own story. It form their personality, it makes them to be different. What is the break of 2000 generation? Does the collapse of American world contributed to the change of our picture of the world. I amnt sure.

This was: a very good (but imperfect) book. It does some cool things with form- one chapter for every minute from when the plane hit the first tower to when it collapsed. It has a compelling critique of capitalism and US Imperialism that suddenly goes soft at the end - but perhaps thats partly excused because of when it was published (relatively soon after the attacks)? The ending is bad and kind of hokey. Still, I highly recommend it.
