What goes around comes around
This novel, written in 1997, could not be read at a better time. Just as the US keeps sliding in to military adventures today, All Soul's Day presents an exciting fictional tour of how the Vietnam tragedy developed.

too bad
This man is simply inadequate to the telling of this tale. The material is there, god know's it is, but in the hands of this writer it amounts to something less than nothing. To take matters of such central value to the culture and render them silly, faint and pretentious is to do less than nothing. The prime question is whether to feel worse at the wasting of the epic...

This review is from: All Souls' Day (Hardcover)
This novel, written in 1997, could not be read at a better time. Just as the US keeps sliding in to military adventures today, All Soul's Day presents an exciting fictional tour of how the Vietnam tragedy developed. As their Government is slipping and sliding into a political involvement that can only be described criminal, the stories characters try to make a stand against what they know is wrong. Bill Morris writes as if he has actually lived through the events he portraits and the line between fact and fiction emerges as a truley thin one. As patriotism and exile go hand in hand in this story, Morris provides his US readers with plenty of food for thought. May they be able to connect the dots.

By A Customer
This review is from: All Souls' Day (Mass Market Paperback)
This man is simply inadequate to the telling of this tale. The material is there, god know's it is, but in the hands of this writer it amounts to something less than nothing. To take matters of such central value to the culture and render them silly, faint and pretentious is to do less than nothing. The prime question is whether to feel worse at the wasting of the epic material or over the sloppy lunk-headed prose. This fella is clumsy but, it would seem, convinced that his clumsiness is actually a form of brilliance. May I suggest a semester at JUCO?
