| | 1. |  | The Garden of Last Days: A Novel
from W. W. Norton
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
Andre Dubus III's THE GARDEN OF LAST DAYS receives Dan John Miller's fine acting voice as it tells of a stripper who brings her daughter to work, only to find an unusual client with lots of money will change her life. A gripping, tense story evolves with many unexpected twists and turns.

| | 2. |  | House of Sand and Fog
from Vintage Books
Customer Review:
Structurally, the book was interesting. Several characters narrate the book, and the plot unfolds around a central issue--who owns a particular house. Who can live in the house? Who can sell the house? But, the major problem is that the characters are difficult to identify with or find sympathy for.... more info

| | 3. |  | The Stories of Breece D'J Pancake
from Back Bay Books
Price: $11.19
Customer Review:
Writing instructors looking for a story that illustrates the "show, don't tell" principle will be pleased with Pancake. For example, there's a line in "Trilobites" in which the story's narrator recalls seeing the shadow of an airplane pass over the mountains in which he lives and thinking, for a... more info

from Vintage
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
...but that's about it.
This is one of Dubus' first novels, and it shows. The timelines in the story are inconsistent; details that you expect to have an impact are never mentioned again.
Nevertheless, I read it thru to the dissappointing end.

from Vintage

For me the best story is "Forky," the story of a man recently out of prison trying--bluntly said--to get laid. Despite the harsh setting, we are given, via the remembrances of the... more info

from Diagonal -Grupo 62
Customer Review:
This is the Spanish text edition of "House of Sand and Fog", a book that is simply a masterpiece. It is an exceptionally well written and brilliantly told story of two people whose destinies become intertwined through a simple twist of fate. It is the story of what happens to them and to those who... more info
