review 1: Thomas H Cook again comes back with a tale of suspense with an interesting climax, realistic, populated with characters with which you can identify, exposing deepest thoughts lurking in their minds, bring forth in Cook's literary prose. I am again and again is astonished by Cook's adept handling of human emotions, without the usual melodrama associated with commercial potboilers, still keeping the reader hooked and also make him think. This is another winner from ever reliable Cook.
review 2: Trust the tale, not the teller. Jack Branch would have a reader believe he is a great son, teacher, mentor, lover, friend. Certainly every story he tells is intended to convince a reader of this; however, it just ain't so. The truth is much simpler.. Jack is a terrible tea... morecher (what a bore with all those lecures), a dutiful if dimwitted son (his father really would like to go into that nursing home), a rotten mentor, and an out and out liar. Jack tells his story in a coy manner meant to suggest gravitas. Something wicked this way happened (1954 South), and Jack suggests that he is at the center of the tale and responsible for the many tragedies it engenders. The truth is he is more like Zelig in trying to insert himself into everything important in the town. If you are interested in how first person narrators twist stories to benefit themselves, this is an interesting take on the genre. less
