5.0 out of 5 stars
Reading this book is like meeting fascinating strangers, March 31, 2011
This review is from: The Colorado Motet (Paperback)
I really like this book. Choosing one of the stories and sitting down to read it is like walking into a friendly bar and spending an evening making new friends. You feel tight and close with the characters; you really care about them.
The stories are especially wonderful for anyone with familiarity with Colorado, since Colorado and especially "The Eighth", a fictional Denver bar, become characters in the stories.
Highly recommended!

Antidote to Reality T.V., May 7, 2005
This review is from: The Colorado Motet (Paperback)
Turn off the television and kick back with Colorado Motet. You'll feel like you've gotten to know some folks, and learned a little bit about life along the way. Think Bukowski, Annie Proulx, and Richard Brautigan. Motet has the same bittersweet flavor and a sense of humanity that's rare these days. It's a sweet deal to find a book that's got some meat to it, that's not a formula driven thriller, that's got a collection of characters you can sink your teeth into. If I were Hollis I'd give it an 868.
