My hands-down favorite Chabon, a literary humorous science fiction mystery.

Dull and pedestrian. No genuine excitement or suspense.

No offense to those who enjoyed, but I found it boring and poorly written.

THIS is Margaret Atwood at her very best, mystery, history, a great “heroine.”

Dazzling modern literature.

Chapter 94!

One of the best Vietnam novels, powerful and harrowing.

Sweeping historical novel, you‘ll get lost in it in the best way.

Want a break from literature? This mainstream novel is fun fun fun with a bit of depth. Grisham at his very best.

Great storytelling and characters, absorbing and compelling, big and brash.

His peak, the end of his great run; he never wrote a book nearly as good after this. I interviewed him shortly after this came out.

Sweeping and unflinching. Odd and extraordinary. Realistic and fanciful. Masterful - pun intended.

It is a masterpiece - magical, historical, funny, gut-wrenching, deep, accessible.
