review 1: This book isn't for everyone. It's subject is raw and the language is exuberant to the point of deliriousness. Every sentence goes right to the edge. Sometimes it slips over the top. Sometimes it doesn't quite make it, but damn if D Foy isn't going for it. It's like a postmodern mash-up of Hamsun, Tarantino and Kerouac. The dialog is deliberately overwrought. Its excesses are excessive, but Made to Break really got its hooks into me and didn't let go to the last page. What else do you want out of a book?
review 2: One thing I would never ever do is go to a cabin with friends - good or best friends, I just wouldn't do it. I think this novel confirms my fears, and will for sure only stay in hotels with a 24 hour lobby and vending machines that are open all day a... morend night. But I will read books about people who do decide to spend time together, and being stranded in bad weather, with a friend that is dying, well.... One takes stock in their lives, and this is very much of a novel about time passing. Or more likely change. D. Foy is an excellent prose writer, and I'm thankful that there are presses out there, like Two Dollar Radio, that captures writers like Foy on the page, and therefore to my hands. less
