by  Grouch ,  May 24, 2001

Pros: Comic book artists defeat Nazi villains in the year s best book.
Cons: Adolf Hitler probably wouldn t like it.
The Bottom Line: From the author of Wonder Boys comes a truly wonderful literary experience dazzling-bright prose that continues to thrill after the last page is turned.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: If, as Francis Bacon said, some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested, then have your knife and fork ready to dig into Michael Chabon?s delicious novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier &...

Dead Men Waiting: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay

by  NFP ,  Jul 13, 2001
92 out of 92 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Complex, deftly-constructed parallel universes of real world despair and comic book fantasy. Catchy, creative, memorable.
Cons: Way too long and occasionally rambling. Editor? Is there an editor in the house?
The Bottom Line: Passages of astounding cleverness and evocative writing, likeable and memorable characters. Also, too much of a good thing that bogs down by its sheer length. But stay with it.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: ?ONLY THE SHADOW KNOWS?.
In 1939 Europe black clouds shroud the countryside as hobnailed Nazi boots spread the despair born of ethnic genocide and megalomania.

Meanwhile, back in bustling, rainy New York City, we shift our...

Entrancing story about escape worth escaping into

by  eplovejoy ,  May 10, 2001
81 out of 81 people found this review helpful.
Pros: A dazzling story told in beautiful prose and featuring a cast of memorable characters.
Cons: When there's a movie version, it almost certainly can't be as good.
The Bottom Line: This delightful novel won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Anyone who reads it knows that it richly deserves the honor.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Comic book creators have given us wonders, from a wisecracking man who crawls walls like a spider to a philosophizing extraterrestrial who soars through the cosmos on a silver surf board. It would be hard to find in all of literature a character...
