Best Sellers

"Zaniness is the keynote for the book, which can be read without boredom, mainly because the author is a charmer in delineating incidents in concrete, specific detail."

Richard Condon

"Bradford believes in the human comedy the way DiMaggio believes in baseball, the way Nureyev believes in the dance, the way people, no matter what, believe in laughing when they might just as well be weeping."

4.0�toiles sur 5 A vital piece of the New Mexico fiction reads, Jui 10 2004

Par	Jack Purcell (Placitas, NM USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

The Bradford books, Red Sky at Morning and So Far From Heaven are two tomes slightly before their times. When most of the New Mexico fiction enthusiasts discovered Hillerman and Nichols these two had already gone into decline and were settling into obscurity. Each is well worth pulling from the bottom of the heap, dusting carefully and settling down for a great read.

Red Sky at Morning would fit well into the John Nichols collection insofar as insight, humor and good story-telling. The characterization is great in both Bradford books; the plotting is excellent; the penetrating insights into a New Mexico forever in transition between a colorful past, chaotic present and incomprehensible future are all conveyed here.

Whether the reader wishes to know New Mexico or simply to spend the evening in smiles and laughs, Bradford will provide.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Red Sky At Morning (mercy highschool), Oct. 15 2003

Par	Sylvia "allypooh211" - Voir tous mes commentaires

This book, Red Sky At Morning by Richard Bradford, is set during the time of World War II when people all over the world were struggling and about a boy who learn to appreciate people of a different race. It is about a boy name Josh, who has been raised in the ways of Mobile, Alabama. His father, Frank Arnold is a wealthy ship builder, who gets his volunteer commission in the U.S navy. Frank decides to move his wife and 17-year-old josh to the family summerhouse in Corazon Sagrado, in the high mountains of New Mexico. Mrs. Arnold finds it hard to get by living in a highly populated Hispanic village. Josh on the other hand becomes a part of the Hispanic community. Josh goes to school at Helen De Crispin where he found many new friends and he is fascinated with the culture. The book talks about the people who come and change the life of josh, the people who influenced his progress to maturity. In New Mexico is where josh finds himself and where he finally understands the meaning of responsibility and love.

This book really brings you back to the good old times, the times when we were curious about everything. Josh doesn't fit in much with the community, but after no time he shows interest and curiosity in his summerhouse. The village, the setting, and the people help him to find himself and find maturity. By the end of the book he is totally different from what he was when he just came to the village. This book should be read especially because people and teenagers especially can relate to it. A lot of people are going through life changing period and many teenagers can relate to this book. It can bring the older people back to their young and curiosity age. Every one should read this book.

5.0�toiles sur 5 A great read, Avril 21 2003

Par	Russell Hawkins "hawksnest830" (Boerne, TX, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I have re-read this story over and over for the past several years. I keep it on my bookshelf to remind me of it's importance to me. Mr. Bradford is a storyteller of the highest quality. I have spent a lot of time in the New Mexico Mountians where the story is set, and it's right on the mark. If you want to know what it is like to be in this part of America, then read this book.
