5.0 out of 5 stars Night People is probably the best book I have ever read., January 25, 2000
This review is from: Night People (Gifford, Barry) (Paperback)
This book is a brilliant web of intertwining stories that left me wishing I could meet it's characters for coffee. Barry Gifford must be the best author in the world right now. His style is unmatched, and his subject matter is great. Gifford makes the strange commonplace while his characters try to tether themselves to reality. A beautiful book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gifford's finest, September 30, 2010
This review is from: Night People (Gifford, Barry) (Paperback)
More than any other writer I can think of, Barry Gifford understand the impact of the written word. He is able to create several memorable characters in just over two hundred pages, with chapters lasting no more than a few pages each. Ten years have passed since I first read this book, but its characters are still etched in my mind. In a perfect world Barry Gifford would be as famous as Elmore Leonard, instead Gifford is criminally underrated.

David Lynch was supposed to make a film adaptation of this book. Too bad he didn't. The book's twisty narrative would have revolutionized cinema as much as Pulp Fiction did.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, March 5, 2005
This review is from: Night People (Gifford, Barry) (Paperback)
If there is one thing I love about Barry,it's his talent for creating original offbeat characters.This book is fun.It isn't meant to be taken too seriously.Therefore the sensible thing to do is not take it seriously.Just read it and have a good time.That's what I did.
