Book Reviews of Sweet Hereafter: A Novel
Book Review: Wish I had read this first...
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented the movie the Sweetheafter, and found it haunting. I had many questions about characters and wanted to go deeper, so I picked up the book. I was not disapointed. Just as the schoolbus crash in the movie will always be with me, so will more of the characters, and their personal stories.Book Review: Thought provoking, excellent portrayal of American life
Summary: 5 Stars
Russell Baker is a true American classic. He makes you realize how selfish we can be through his characters in this book. I couldn't put THE SWEET HEREAFTER down. All four characters were very compelling, although I feel that Dolores Driscoll got short-changed in the end.Book Review: Riveting four perspective account of one fatal bus accident.
Summary: 5 Stars
Brilliant, fast-paced, intricate account of a small town shattered by a school bus accident. Banks weaves metaphor and dialogue seamlessly. Four characters narrate the events; each one more startling than the next. A must-read for anyone new to Russell Banks!Book Review: Drew me in
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked up the book thinking, "what could really be all that interesting about this story?" This was not the plodding tale I expected it to be. The most riveting non-action story I have read in a long time.Book Review: Banks At his best
