review 1: 3.5. I wouldn't recommend this book, however, I found myself enjoying it. I loved the quirky characters and how their lives were weaved together to the ridiculous point. I loved the tongue in cheek humor. And I never thought about the folks who do reconstruct accidents for a living and how their lives are different because of it. Driving is about taking risks you are willing to take on any given day - this I won't forget......and how life can and does change by a single accident!
review 2: The Reconstructionist by Nick Arvin – You might remember Arvin’s debut novel Articles of War, which won the Colorado Book Award and was the One Book One Denver choice. The Reconstructionist is as finely written as his first novel. He has a spare way of writing, making ea... morech word necessary to the story. His writing is exquisite. In the new novel, the character, Ellis, as a boy hears the fatal car accident which kills his older half-brother. This changes his life. Years later, after college Ellis becomes a forensic reconstructionist. He investigates fatal car accidents, finding the reasons behind them. But Ellis’ life takes another turn and becomes its own crash site. You won’t be able to put this book down and trust me, if you haven’t read Articles of War – you might as well put it immediately on your reading list as well. (Nick will be at the Tattered Cover on March 22nd at 7:30pm in LoDo.) less
