I think it's the most perceptive review I've read so far and to be compared to two of the most page-turning novelists I know... well, what more can I say?
David McLaurin, whom I discover to be a regular book reviewer for the CT and elsewhere, is also a novelist in his own right. In fact, his book The Bishop of San Fernando won the Daily Express book of the year award. I don't know about the rest of you writers out there, but it feels great to be congratulated by a reviewer who's also a novelist.
Happy weekend!

Cool review. I agree re having another novelist read and understand your book. That's why I was so utterly chuffed with your review of LR. You, like, really got it, man.
Great review, Alis - a really economical piece of work to capture the novel so neatly in so short a column.
You're definitely right that the praise of another novelist carries particular cachet.
Excellent!
That's a great review, well deserved :o)
