Review

"It is exciting and provocative, and at the same time it is subtle. It is a book that ought to be read because it speaks to our time and because its universality speaks the language of lasting literature. "-Chicago Tribune

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly entertaining, September 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sun Dogs (Paperback)
I loved this book. It is probably my favorite Robert Olen Butler book. The book is sort of a cross between Camus "The Stranger" and Hemmingway's "A Farewell To Arms."

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, July 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Sun Dogs (Paperback)
I bought the book because of the interesting description on the back cover and the note that said the author was the "winner of the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction." This book was dreadful. Thoroughly unsympathetic characters, terrible dialogue, and an unconvincing plot. Sometimes I laughed out loud at the contrived conflicts and plot twists. I felt I should finish the book just to make sure it was really that bad. It was. Please don't waste your time reading this dud.
