5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Read,
By Yvette Ward-Horner (Rocky Mountains, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Suburban Swindle (Paperback)
Jackie Corley is a very talented writer with a powerful voice. She has a real knack for capturing the angst and confusion that accompanies early adulthood. Reading this book took me right back to my early twenties - I could almost taste the cheap vodka again. She has a way of dragging you headfirst into her scenes and making you rub up against her characters, even when you really don't want to. Some of them are downright repulsive but, then, I like it that way sometimes.

You won't be Swindled....,
This review is from: The Suburban Swindle (Paperback)
"The Suburban Swindle" is gritty, witty and exposes the underbelly of boredom in suburbia. Corley's themes echo with traces of post-modernism, yet she makes them her own, through the eyes and pen of a suburban inquisitor. Bohemian when compared to the white picket fence, white middleclass, white washed society of suburbia...but true to the free thinking people whom are trying to survive in a demographic which is truly devoid of art, culture, individualism and suffocated in designer everything, with the exception of designer self. Two thumbs up....
~John J. Petrolino III: October 26, 2008 Author of Galleria: A collection of poetry and the short story "Three Lonesome Travelers" |
