Critique Out Of Books Coldheart Canyon

First published back in 2001, Coldheart Canyon came three years after the publication of Barkers epic love story Galilee. With many fans of Barkers work expecting the sequel to Galilee to be following, or indeed the first instalment of the long awaited Abarat quartet to emerge, Coldheart Canynon was an interesting return to Barkers darker, more apocalyptic and dare I say more depraved side of his fiction.Written during a very difficult period of Barkers life, with the unfortunate and sad death



This book is absolutely wretched and I'm totally embarrassed that I read an almost 700 page book that is just plain bad.

Muller's reading was top-notch, of course, but it seems that my memory of the book was a bit biased based off of my general love for Barker. My love of him aside, the book just wasn't as good as

Coldheart Canyon is the ultimate example of an immense and graphic imagination finding no moderation, patience, or substance. As Barker even admits in his introduction, a lot of stuff was going on in his life when he wrote Coldheart Canyon. And as bad as I feel for poor Mr. Barker, the art and the artist must be firmly separated.Coldheart Canyon is 686 pages long. That is 300 pages too long for the material at hand. The story has about five climaxes (and that's just structurally; being Barker,
