5.0 out of 5 stars Singer's best novel, April 6 2002
By Larry the Lawyer (Des Moines, Iowa) - See all my reviews
Singer establishes a tragic situation, then has the nerve to make a comedy. Nobody else could achieve this delicate balance. If you're interested in exploring Singer, start here. Then read his posthumously published novels: The Certificate, then Shadows on the Hudson. If you don't like them, I'll give you your money back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anguishing Post-Holocaust Novel, Mar 20 2001
By "h1213" (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This novel is the story of a Holocaust survivor and his attempt to juggle three women in mid-20th century New York City. Although there are some amusing moments, this is not a book to be taken lightly. The devastation these people have suffered because of the Nazis has all but left empty shells. Singer's style in this novel is quick-paced and straightforward with remarkable dialogue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and sad -- a story you will never forget, Aug 18 2000
Singer's ear for the way people really spoke was impeccable, and his gifts in this area are on display beautifully in "Enemies." The dialogue in this book is unmatched in fiction.

By the way, it's funny, sad and ironic that Amazon visitors have written exactly two reviews of "Enemies," while several hundred have been written about "The Bridges of Madison County." I believe that Singer himself would just smile at this fact.

Final thought: Read this book. It's one of the ten best novels of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book
Singer's "Enemies" represent characters that can't escape from their past and struggle with the notion of where they want to go. Read more
