Summary: A Good Story Told Well
Comment: This is a wonderful story about a southern family. It is a good yarn that is told well. Nothing more or less.
Rating: 5
Summary: One of the Best Books I;ve Read All Year
Comment: After finishing Scott Morris' Waiting for April, I was left with the distinct feeling that I had just read work in a writing style that is entirely unlike anything I've read before. It has gusto, with such phrases as the "gauzy noise of night," playfullness, sharp sincereity and an unusual rectitude -- anyway, it was devoid of the gamesmanship I feel in of a lot of pseudo-joyful postmodern writing. I'm really writing this reveiw to respond to the last one I read. I think the writing/language matched the hyped-up nature of the story. And so much happened -- if suicide, murder and false identity aren't enough drama, I'm not sure what would be. I would say more but wouldn't want to give away too much.

Summary: Waiting for April...Waiting for Something to Happen
Comment: Much ado about _nothing_ sums up this book. Page after page of hints, insinuations, and woeful angst over a climax that is paltry at best. If one of the main characters got a hangnail it would incite tremors of disaster and foreboding for at least 10 chapters. Portions of the story reminded me of Pat Conroy, but Morris doesn't follow through with a truly horrible event that rightfully shapes (or mis-shapes) the characters' lives. Morris moans on in an overly flowerly prose about nothing. Without a good story and cluttered with overworked text, there is very little to recommend about this work.
