Vonnegut at the top of his form, which is a fresh style compared to most of the tired writers of this century.

King's looks like he's falling into what many successful writers do: they don't push their writing as hard. But the power of Roland of Gilead's story won't allow him to ruin it. The intro and end are frayed, but don't miss the magical meat in the middle.

Good Kesey fare. Sometimes uninteresting to me, though, and other times entrancing.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Price: CDN$ 9.89
124 used & new from CDN$ 0.01

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, July 31 2000
Undeniably at the top of my list. Randle McMurphy is an example to all who feel trapped "in the fog"

The movie was good, but a lot of the power was in the narration by the Chief, as he's led back out of the fog by McMurphy.

This is my first McMurtry, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. After readding the slight disappointments of the other reviewers though, I'm eager to begin Dove...

High Fidelity
High Fidelity

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, modern writers are getting it., July 30 2000
This review is from: High Fidelity (Paperback)
Not only is this book about commitment, it also is about being wrapped up in yourself, unable to accept that you aren't the only person with tastes. I handed this book to someone I saw as similar to the protagonist, though without sympathy or feelings for change, and he totally missed any hint of that. Aside from that taint, the book is excellent in satirizing us men's inability to grow up and become rational mates. Someday, ladies.
