5.0 out of 5 stars The book that ruined my life, July 25, 1999

Darryl Riser (Mangham, LA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: A Good Day to Die (Paperback)

This is an incredible book that drove me into a writing career. Jim Harrison has the rare ability to write about people, not heroes or monsters. You leave this book feeling the story may be exaggerated, but that these people were real. Stumbling upon this book in high school opened my eyes to the joys of character-driven stories. It's a bad road trip, but one you'll be glad you took.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to Harrison., December 3, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: A Good Day to Die (Paperback)

If you have never read Harrison, this is a great place to start. An entertaining read and fine introduction to the humor, wit, and insight of one of our most engaging authors. You'll hear Harrison's voice for weeks after finishing this book. And you'll want to read more.

matt "Horror/Dark Comedy" (COLUMBUS, MT, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Good Day to Die (Paperback)

This is the book Dalton (Patrick Swayze), the philosopher/cooler, reads during his morning's off.

And you should too.

'Cuz it's Dalton's way, or the highway!

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best
I used to think Harrison was the most talented author in America today. This is a set of three novellas that can serve as an introduction to him. Read more
