5.0 out of 5 stars Criminally underappreciated, February 23, 2006
By 
Jim Higgins (NYC, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Talking Man (Paperback)
This is a wonderful contemporary fantasy about a magic man who owns a car repair shop. The young protagonist has to convince him to fix an old car and drive with him to the North Pole. Bisson creates one surreal scenario after another that, though they seem unbelievable, are so palatable they go down like honey.

Bisson's writing is masterful and engaging. It should be a felony for this book to be out of print. Find your self a copy and read. Really.

One of you editors who read this review should get this book back on the shelves.

PS I love Bisson but I seem to be the only one around who doesn't understand the story, "Bears Discover Fire." And I went to graduate school and everything! Anyone out there feel like enlightening me?

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ever by a Living Author, December 12, 1999
This review is from: Talking Man (Hardcover)
This is Terry Bisson's best work. Never to be duplicated, this novel is the best available of any living author.

Far better than his other great efforts.
