4.0 out of 5 stars Clearly Enjoyed Blurred Images, January 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Blurred Images (Paperback)

Here's a timely and compelling read. Dimond introduces us to Jeffrey Stevenson an accidental murderer and long-time fugitive who cuts a deal and heads home after 25 years on the run.
This book has one of the most realistic and poignant relationships between brothers I've ever read. Jeff's brother, dying from cancer and troubled by his own past mistakes demands time, music and love from his long-lost brother. The description of Danny's illness and the reactions of his family ring desperately true.
There's also a hilarious series of meetings with two PR professionals that could only be written by someone who's been there.
It's a great book to take along on that next long flight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blurred Images Accurately Focuses on Life in '68, January 27, 2006

Having lived through the actual events in this book (I landed in Pittsburgh two days after the Kent State massacre after spending five years at the University of California, Berkeley, running to escape the frequent tear gas, which was dropped by helicopter), I want to commend the author for a gripping and enlightening story, which conveys more accuracy than many of the "memoirs" currently in the news.

5.0 out of 5 stars An engrossing and moving read, December 18, 2003

This novel is entertaining, and more than entertaining; it works on several levels, as good fiction should. It's an engrossing read which starts out as something of a political suspense novel and then moves on to an equally engrossing family drama of a man trying to reconstruct his own life and his relationships after a long enforced absence. On the way, it touches on issues of politics, ethics, and their not so simple interaction with the dynamics of family and friendship. The characters are well drawn and the narrative keeps moving forward. A fine first novel.
