3.0 out of 5 stars
Good plot but a little disappointing for this author,
By "neeterskeeter27" (http://www.neeterskeeter.com/new) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Border Music (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is not as good, in my opinion, as some of his other books, such as Puerto Vallarta Squeeze or Slow Waltz in Cedar Bend, but it is still sad, realistic, and a good read. The only criticism I have is that in the beginning, it moves too slow and gives a negative attitude about the plot to the reader. However, as it moves on, it gets rather good. This book almost made memad, the way things turn out, but it also dives into the human indeciciveness between fantasy and reality. This is another sad but interesting book by Robert James Waller, and it is much easier to find than "Puerto Vallarta Squeeze." Though, in my opinion, not his best book, it is certainly good and worthy of the time it takes to read it.

A thoughtfull alternative to Bridges.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Border Music (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book before I read Bridges and find it much more inspirational. If you thought Bridges was good, but a little too sappy, you might find Border Music a more adventurous ride. This book is the story of a modern day explorer living his life to the fullest despite the mundane obstacles in today's world. Its the story of the road less traveled. You won't cry while reading Border Music, but you might get a new perspective on life. Bridges might be one of the best all-time romance novels, but if you're looking for a broader look at a great way to lead a life, Border Music is a great choice.

A Nice Flow,
By
This review is from: Border Music (Hardcover)
I found this book in a bargain bin a few years back and finally got around to reading it only recently. Fortunately, I was glad I did, as it was diversely interesting, different from what I expected, too. No big surprises or stunning twists, but a nice flow all the same. Waller has a style of writing that fits the characters in his story; he writes from the angle of a Texas cowboy or other southern rugged, feral type, raw and unrefined. 'Border Music' is the story of untamed love, of romance initiated on a whim. It is the story of Jack Carmine and Linda Lobo, a drifter in a pickup truck and a sexy barroom dancer, who meet by chance, and decide to take a chance with each other. Sometimes a man will simply be a man, a drifter always a drifter as well; love dwindles and fades, and events become uncontrollable; fate takes control. Life gets on in years and the past appears as a dream. We know, ourselves, how much we'd love to try and grasp it and hold onto it just one more time, but always find it gone forever, leaving only faded memories. Country singer, Bobby McGregor, Jack's close friend, eventually realizes that his memories make him smile and reminisce, as he longs for the good ol' days to re-emerge. Uncle Vaughn Rhomer leaves in search of a dream, too, yearning for the experience himself, in search of his nephew also. Maybe it's Jack who has the right idea, God's freeborn soul, for even though he longs for Linda, his true love, his heart calls on him to constantly wander ... keeping life fresh, free, and unpredictable. Don't look back, Jack Carmine. Though a novel for women also, this is a love story for men, which is somewhat rare.
