review 1: One of my favorite Nicholas Christopher novels in awhile. It certainly doesn't rise to the epic-ness of A Trip to the Stars or Veronica, but it was great. I found it interesting that Christopher does not include as much magic and coincidence in this book, at least compared to his other books. I found that more basic, yet universally compelling, themes came forward, such as the ability to overcome loss, to support the ones we love despite their faults, and to face the demons within.
review 2: I was disappointed. The writing was pretty pedestrian, with lots of exposition, and the intertwining plots were in way too much of a hurry. The book is only about 250 pages, which might be part of the problem. And a lot of cliche--the substance-abusing jazz musician, the wi... morese fortune-teller, the lost artifact that magically reappears, and what was up with Ruby's mental illness or whatever it was? That didn't seem to belong in this book. I read 2 of this author's previous books and I remembered liking them, but that was a pretty long time ago. less
