Summary: Do yourself a favor and buy this immediately!
Comment: ...Boyle is roughly 100 years ahead of his time, since the public has not yet caught up.
There is no other author writing English stories who can compare with Boyle for sheer inventiveness and creativity. And his inventiveness has a point, for each story, besides entertaining, makes you think deeply about issues that are important to all of us.
This collection should top the best seller lists and be required reading in high school and college classes. If you read O'Henry in h.s. like I did, or Shirley Jackson, you may think you have read the best. Read Boyle and you will quickly revise that opinion.
Only gave this five stars because I couldn't give six!
Rating: 5
Summary: Lucky few if you are reading this review
Comment: Well, there's a lot of people when you mention T.C. Boyle say who? That's bad for them cuz everyone should read this book.
It seems to me, other than giving a 5 star buy this collection of short stories rating, that I want to mention two things: 1)T.C. Boyle writes like a modern-day Raymond Carver, only less bitter and 2)hes's good at situational fiction -- that is, he puts his characters in unique places(a safari,etc) or unique circumstances and lets them deal with it.
It's a unique approach, and I hope that you buy this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent flow and playful with words
Comment: This is an excellent collection of varied stories. All come at some different direction like dreams and continue in a fast pace. The unexpected will arrive and thrill you, knock you over and make you think of endless possibilities. His descriptions are as good as anyone who has held a pen. Read these stories for the authors play with words and often thrilling movement.
