Critique Of Books The Flanders Panel

Perez-Reverte writes fast-paced witty novels, mostly based in his home country of Spain. The Flanders Panel was the first of his that I read, and maybe the very best. It has a mystery and a puzzle about the Flanders Panel, which (if I remember, after many years), has a hidden message in it that reveals an old mystery. Wonderful book.

My friend Cathy (also a chessplayer) told me I had to read this, and she was indeed right. I couldn't put it down, and finished it in about a day. It's... well, what is it? I read it as a kind of postmodernist reimagining of Alice Through The Looking-Glass. Other books I immediately thought of were The Name of the Rose, Gödel, Escher, Bach and Luzhin's Defense. Formally, it's a very stylized murder mystery. Julia, the sexy but childlike Alice figure, is a Madrid art restorer. She receives an

Loved it. Like the other one before. I really didn't see it coming :)

Actually it is 3,5/5 stars but I didn't have the heart to put only 3 stars in this book!

I wanted so badly to love this book.The simplest way to describe it is the novelisation of Douglas Hofstadter's opus, "Godel, Escher, Bach." In fact, it is impossible to believe that Perez-Reverte had finished G.E.B. more than ten minutes before furiously scribing "The Flanders Panel."I wanted to love it because I love books based on puzzles and logic, and GEB may be one of my favorite books of all time.But the novel is just so weak. The characters (caricatures?) were flat and absurd - how many

On paper I should have loved this book. It dealt with medieval history, art restoration, chess, deduction, ...AND MURDER. Also the whole book has a very 90s feel about it. At times I felt like I was watching a VHS copy of a Double Jeopardy era mystery/suspense film. Kinda fun. And yet, something held it back from being great. Im still trying to put my finger on what it was, to be honest. Occasionally the translation felt clunky, and frequently, the novels action was told rather than shown. I

Half way into this book I was almost ready to give it up. However, some morbid curiosity kept me going. I still hoped that, somewhere along the last lines, there will be an unexpected series of events, a revelation, a smarter ending. But no, the flat characters lived up their predictable ending.Actually, I am wrong. Not all endings were so predictable. For Cesar, the ending was horrid. I could see that, throughout the book, the author does not think that highly of gay people or even women (they
