Customer Reviews of History Of Luminous Motion, The

Weird and literary.
It's been a while since I read this book, but there are a couple of things that really stand out: 1. The book opens up with exquisite beauty. Bradfield is a world-class writer possessing a full array of literary talent. I'm talking Denis Johnson-esque here. 2. There are moments of dialogue between the main character and one of his friends (I think it was a girl) that's just totally whacked out. Their conversation is very high-leveled -- philosophical and highly intellectual. Totally out of sync with the real world as we know it, yet totally in sync within Brafield's world. I recommend this book wholeheartedly. It's weirdly moving, an occasion always worthy celebration in my book. - SJW

Keeping this copy in my collection.
I picked this book up from a remainder stack at a local bookstore because I liked the title... I'm keeping this book because it took me for a ride that few contemporary works of fiction have. A thoroughly enjoyable read, full of startling twists and intelligent writing.

What a great surprise..
I accidentally found this book while browsing the stacks of a local bookstore and was really surprised that I hadn't heard of the book or the author. Not many writers have the ability to startle me with such a wonderful writing style coupled with a zesty storyline. This is one of those books whose words are placed together with great feeling and care, resulting in a sharp, clear and sometimes painful book.
