 Written on August 18, 2008 Summary: An interesting twist! A good read even though about half way thru the twist starts to become apparent if you're paying attention.  Written on August 16, 2008 Summary: Odd and bad The author thinks "journal" is a verb and that everyone has a therapist. In his next life, if reincarnation does occur, he will be born female and will be much happier. Cheap effort to ride on The Great Gatsby's coattails does not achieve liftoff. Also O. Henry endings have been out of style for a hundred years or so - for a reason. Avoid.  Written on August 7, 2008 Summary: I Beg to Differ. . . Read the reviews preceding mine for an overview of and glowing responses to "The Double Bind." But read this too: As soon as the author mentions West Egg and presents the characters of "The Great Gatsby" as if they are historical figures, you too will know you are being set up for one of those "it was all a dream" endings. And it's a real shame, given that the book's impetus (i.e, the discovery of the photographs of famous people among a homeless man's belongings)is so promising.  Written on July 31, 2008 Summary: Highly Recommended! I discovered this novel by browsing the shelves one afternoon---I was attracted to the old black & white photos and the author's idea to build a story around them. The layers of this novel will take hold of you and you will be drawn into this well crafted story. You should know the novel or the film The Great Gatsby--as the characters from that classic are built into this one---As I was drawn into the book ---and as I would put it aside ---I could not wait to return to keep reading---it is one of those novels you want to tell others about. This is an intelligent contemporary novel from a gifted storyteller. Written on July 30, 2008 Summary: Skip It! Skip this book and go to the next one on your list. Yes, the author has written good material before - Midwives was great. This, not so much. The writing was overly and unnecessarily dramatic. The dialog between characters was completely unnatural. And while the story had potential, it was just too loosely tied together. Once I start reading a book, I have to finish it. I could not wait to finish this one just to get it over and done with. |
