5.0 out of 5 stars A shame it's out of print!, January 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Crooked Hearts (Paperback)

I really just can't believe it's out of print--it makes no sense to me.This book is a true treasure. It stays with me, and I've read it several times and given it to all my friends. It is an interesting, touching, and funny story of a family, akin to the work of John Irving. I encourage you to order an out of print search and read it for yourself.

3.0 out of 5 stars A family about to go down in flames, February 25, 2005

This review is from: Crooked Hearts (Paperback)

This novel is about the disintegration of a family, a fairly disfunctional one at that. The father is a weak man and the oldest son hates him for that; the mother sees only the good in everything; the other three children try to hold things together. When I first read this when it first came out, I was very moved by it. Reading it a second time now I find much of the action just wasted energy. The book is poignant and sad in spots, but just too crazy and chaotic for me now.
