5.0 out of 5 stars Plot..., March 13, 2004
By 
Judy Smith "judylynnsbooks" (jamestown, ky United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Walnut Door (Hardcover)
The Walnut Door...a young woman who has fled from her suddenly unbearable "college kid" self...and from the place and even the lover that were part of it...comes alone to a strange city, anxiously awaiting for someting new and exciting to happen.

A young man...breezy, ponytailed, beautiful...stranded by the passing of the sixties whose excitments had nurtured and consumed him, now lavishes his whole self on loving craftsmanship, on the construction of simple, perfect wooden doors, on the mystery of locks, and on the artful offering of security (his locks and doors) to women who are alone...

Guess who meets up and falls in love...

1.0 out of 5 stars I did not like this book, March 11, 2008
By 
Joanne Sellner (Savage, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Walnut Door (Hardcover)
I read this book from cover to cover hoping for some redeeming value - I didn't find any. It was a filthy book in my estimation - I felt like I was in the middle of the 60's drug culture. The book was thrown away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Continues Hersey's fine journalistic skills. . ., September 26, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Walnut Door (Hardcover)
in fictional form. Here are Hersey's statements about alienation in the modern world. Some readers could be alienated by The Collector (c.f. John Fowles)-like story line.
