Customer Reviews

superb lit

I loved this book. Wynne has a cool, easy, intelligent, original style, unencumbered by the obvious ego that mucks up so many books. He loves his characters, doesn't sentimentalize or trivialize them, just lets us know what's going on in their heads without judgment, superimposed morality or high-flown drama -- these excellent stories show humanity in all its weirdness, beauty and multi-dimensionality. More, please.
