Jak říká sám Wouk, Zákonodárce je lehkovážný román o tom, jak je nemožné napsat román o Mojžíšovi, a myslím, že nikdo by to nevystihl lépe. Nejsem zrovna fanouškem epistolárních příběhů, většinou mě zklamaly (pokud nepočítám Werthera, samozřejmě :)), ale tady to tak nějak funguje. Stránky jsou plné postav a postaviček a chvílemi absurdního děje, nad kterým se budete pousmívat a říkat si, jak on je ten Hollywood pitomej, prostoduchej a jenom navoněné pozlátko. Wouk vám dodá pocit, že vy jste nad věcí. Celou knížku zhltnete za pár dní, ne-li hodin a dojmete se u epilogu. Víc nepotřebujete vědět! An utter waste of time as read, and my whole bookgroup agreed! Very sad from an author who seems to have been very good in his time.The mixed format of this novel did not work for me. There were to many characters and subplots, that had little or no meaning for the main story. The main story itself wasn't even much of a story.Shame as it has put me off reading all his other works although I am assured that most of them are really worth reading.Just leave it on the self or put it in the bin, best place for it.
What do You think about Zákonodárce (2014)?
Thank you, Mr Wouk, for an entertaining and a thought-provoking read.

I quit reading after 20 pages. Not what I had expected at all.

Thought it would be a historical fiction but wasn't.
