Long time,
This review is from: Aloft (Hardcover)
Not since McCrae's "The Bark of the Dogwood" have I so been affected by a subtle yet powerful novel. But this is exactly what happened with Chang-Rae Lee's "Aloft." His third novel, Lee has hit the proverbial nail on the head when it comes to drawing characters. Jerry is the perfect middle-aged man, complete with all the baggage that comes with that territory, and this, accompanied by the other elements that Lee gives us about the family, make for a riveting book.

Author handles material well,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aloft (Hardcover)
Chang-Rae Lee has got to be my favorite author now. When I first read the description of this book in the above section, I was put off. Don't be! It sounds convoluted and complicated but it's not! This is a fantastic book!Also read "A Gesture Life" and "The Bark of the Dogwood."

ALOFT,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aloft (Hardcover)
Chang-Rae Lee has written an inspired novel that is eloquent in its lonely disengagement, which is what most of us experience, if we're honest, with our own heartbreaking families. I recommend this one for anyone who loved Jennifer Paddock's lyrical and similarly cathartic debut, A SECRET WORD.
