  • A Perennial Favorite Read

    Once in the Long Ago Time, I was a book dealer, and one of my most prized possessions was a hard cover first edition of this title. I read it several times over the years, and then one day was forced to sell it. Such is the way of things. I was delighted to secure this paperback copy and read this wonderful story once more. I won't spoil it with an in depth review - I'll simply say that when I learned how young the author was when he wrote this, I was stunned by his deep understanding of so many facets of the human condition, and his eloquence and skill in communicating it. I was further delighted to learn the story may soon come to life as a limited series on Showtime.

  • An "Amazing Adventure" of a Novel

    Old novel which I had never read. My son did ad recommended it to me. Let me borrow his book. LOVED IT! Found out afterwards that it's being turned into a miniseries. Can't wait. I liked the book so much - I gave my son back his copy and bought one of my own. A Pulitzer Prize winner, Well deserved. A fascinating story with wonderful characters. Chabon is a terrific writer.
