A plain and ordinary treasure

by  ebolles ,  Jun 7, 2001
115 out of 115 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Simple and powerful language and style. Ordinary people made into fascinating characters. Seamless structure.
Cons: None for me. Some may not like the changing narrative focus or limitations.
The Bottom Line: Plainsong is a beautifully written, interesting read with memorable characters set in small town America.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: This book tricked me. It fooled me into thinking at first that it was about mostly small things, really not much more than brief glimpses into the lives of a few characters. I was also caught off guard by how carefully structured the novel is. The...

Plainsong - a haunting melody of life in a small town

by  CyndiA ,  Aug 8, 2005
59 out of 59 people found this review helpful.
Pros: The stories are simple but meaningful. Stark but powerful prose.
Cons: I would have liked more stories, but that might have ruined the effect.
The Bottom Line: Plainsong is like a pot of vegetable soup. None of the ingredients stand out. It's the mixture that works.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Kent Haruf defines plainsong as any simple and unadorned melody, and the description aptly captures the essence of his novel by the same name. This simple slice-of-life glimpse at a year in a small Colorado town is more cotton sheets than...

An Absolutely Joyful Read

by  irbykb ,  Jul 6, 2000
23 out of 23 people found this review helpful.
Pros: excellently portrayed characters, good organization, easy to catch symbolism, beautiful imagery
Cons: not long enough! ;)
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Plainsong is a joyful tale of an unexpected family of unrelated people bound together for their common need to love and be loved. The very small east Colorado town of Holt is the setting. All inhabitants know each other's histories and current...
