This review is from: Blythe (Paperback)

This book is a must read. It changed my life. It resonates with the lost, tormented souls that society swallows up and spits out. A companion book to The Catcher In The Rye.

This review is from: Blythe (Paperback)

A novel for anyone who ever wondered where they were, how they got there and where they were going. "Blythe" trips around the globe in search of elusive peace of mind. A slice of life right out of the middle.

4.0 out of 5 stars "On the Road" for the 1990s, July 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Blythe (Paperback)

A solid first offering from a promising novelist, "Blythe" takes the reader along for a journey through decadence, disillusionment and depression with a shattered moral compass. At times humorous, at times plaintive, the novel plucks at many of the emotions felt by today's Generation X soul searchers.
