Review: What I love about Jonathan Tropper's novels is that they are beautifully written, with straightforward plots (no gimmicks), a warm humour and most endearing characters. This one is no exception. Silver, a lonely but wealthy middle-aged musician, his glory days behind him, divorced from the wife he still loves, estranged from his only daughter (ditto), is whiling away his time in a hotel, where he spends his days lazing about by the pool with his two (also divorced) friends. The highlight of his week is the excursion he and a friend make to a clinic, to donate their sperm for a research project. Then two things happen. One is that he discovers that he has a life-threatening condition, and without surgery he will certainly die; but he's not at all sure that he wants the operation. Then his daughter Casey suddenly turns up, pregnant, and in a dilemma about what to do. So both of them have to make decisions (Casey would like her father to make hers for her), and Silver is not good at decisions. Meanwhile, his ex-wife Denise is about to re-marry, and Silver is understandably distressed about this. One way and another, Silver's life is in a pickle, and it is up to him to sort it out. As Silver dithers and prevaricates (sleeping with any attractive and willing female along the line), forming a closer relationship with Casey and trying to win back Denise, there are crises and several punch-ups, and he has to learn what he can and cannot have in life. And while I thought the ending of the novel wasn't entirely satisfactory (for me), I loved this book. Bring on the next one!
Review: Pour tous les inconditionnels de Jonathan Tropper, ce livre est un must. Pour les autres aussi, Jonathan Tropper est un auteur à connaître. Quelle plume brillante.

*by D***H on 15 July 2013*

Nein die Überschrift ist auf mich bezogen und nicht auf Silver , der Hauptfigur dieses Buches. Doch stellen wir mein Gefühlsleben zunächst einmal zurück und widmen uns dem Buch. Protagonist Silver ist Mitte 40 und geschieden ,seine Karriere als Musiker ist nach einem einzigen Hit vorbei bevor sie richtig begonnen hat und Silver verdient sein Geld damit in einer Hochzeitsband zu Spielen. Das seine Ex Frau kurz davor steht wieder zu Heiraten hilft da auch nicht gerade. Zu Eltern und Bruder hat er kaum Kontakt. Seine 18 Jahre alte Tochter sagt ihm zuerst das sie schwanger ist da er die Person ist bei der es Ihr am wenigsten ausmacht wenn sie ihn enttäuscht. Kurz gesagt sein Leben ist nicht so verlaufen wie er es geplant hatte und er ist unfähig es zu ändern. Erst nach dem er zusammenbricht und vom Arzt gesagt bekommt das nur ein Operation sein Leben retten kann versucht etwas anders zu machen. Sein 4 Punkte Plan lautet: ein besserer Mann werden ein besserer Vater werden sich zu verlieben sterben Geschrieben ist das Buch in typischer Jonathan Tropper Manier. Witzig, traurig, ironisch und mit viel Liebe aber trotzdem war ich am Ende unzufrieden. Warum? Das konnte ich mir zunächst selbst nicht erklären. Erst nach einiger Zeit wurde mir klar warum ich nicht glücklich war. Ich hatte die ganze Zeit das Gefühl alles schon einmal gelesen zu haben. Alle Bücher von Jonathan Tropper haben im Grunde die gleiche Seele. Die Story und die Personen darin mögen variieren aber es läuft immer auf das selbe hinaus. Person ist 30+ Jahre alt, mit seinem Leben unzufrieden, unfähig es zu ändern, einschneidendes Ereignis, Person bessert sich. Es gibt immer einen exzentrischen Charakter der für Unruhe sorgt. (hier seine Freunde Jack und Oliver, im letzten Buch Judd's Mutter die Sex-Therapeutin) und wie in den meisten seiner Bücher hat die Hauptperson auch wieder Beziehungen zu 2 Frauen (hier seine Ex und die Frau die Silver im Bücherladen beobachtet, in Sieben verdammt lange Tage waren es Jen und Penelope, in Enthüllt war es die Verlobte und die beste Freundin, in Stadtfeind Nr. 1 waren es Mrs. Habor und die Kindheitsfreundin,....) und am Ende steht eine geläuterte Person die in ein neues Leben aufbricht. Ich mag Jonathan Troppers Bücher sehr, besonders Stadtfeind Nr.1 aber ich werde das Gefühl nicht los das er ein und dieselbe Idee immer nur mit neuer Handlung ausstattet.
