This review is from: Other people: A novel (Hardcover)

I have several Writing craft books by this author. I wanted to read something by him to see if he could not only teach, but write. I was not disappointed. I read it as a writer, instead of a reader, to study his technique. But ended up absorbing it as a reader. It is written from each main character's POV and I found that very interesting. Stein was able to create a distinctive voice and POV for each character and weave his story so I understood how each one felt and absorbed each character's struggle .
I really enjoyed the experience.

This is one of his earlier books and I will be purchasing a more current one and comparing how his style has evolved.
