If you hated Sarah Conley. . .,
By sdermody@hotmail.com (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flights of Angels: Stories (Hardcover)
. . . you'll be pleased with Flights of Angels. Ellen Gilchrist's books are as trashy as this book-snob will go. Rain or shine I'll disappear to my room, with food (no cigs or drugs any more)& read every word. Flights of Angels brings Gilchrist's easy, southern, characters back; every thing they do - whatever decade - makes sense. And if you are a Gilchrist fan that's all you need to know to read it. Make sure you get that geneology chart out though, names will be familiar but it's so easy to forget the details. I give it 4 stars only because short stories make me want a novel.

Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flights of Angels: Stories (Paperback)
I have got all of her books but I couldn't read this one. It failed to engage me and I gave it 100 pages. I tried to read it five or six times and finally had to stick it back on the shelf. Her work, like most authors, seems to be unpredictable. A good book will be followed by a mediocre collection of stories. Go figure. I loved the cover.

Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flights of Angels: Stories (Hardcover)
Utterly disappointing. Reads as though Ms. Gilchrist has become a paycheck writer, turning out product with no interest in quality. Where has the exceptional author of "The Anna Papers" gone?
