Middle of the Road--but worth a read.,
By
This review is from: The Paragon: A Novel
Its a solid story that makes you want to keep reading. One problem is that it has some chronology problems. HIppy beatnicks in the wrong era. But if you want something to read, pick it up.

2.0 out of 5 stars
disappointing ending,
By anibani (Cambridgeshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Paragon: A Novel
John Knowles does a good job of developing Lou Colfax' character, only to waste it with a rushed, so-so resolution of this man's troubles in the end. He does present good insights about war, life in New England, and early 20's angst. The various characters around Lou are also very interesting. It was only at the end that I felt let down.
