For the first time since Handling Sin, a riveting novel of love, secrets, and the mysterious bonds of family, from master author Michael Malone.
This is a fabulously entertaining novel. It's probably a trifle too long, the plot contains a number of improbabilities and it's easy enough to guess at least a couple of the revelations toward the book's end. But you know what? None of this matters. Michael Malone's prose—as smooth as a con man's patter—hooks you on the first page, and you're not going anywhere after that, except to your favorite reading chair or backyard hammock or vacation beach blanket. Malone possesses the only gift—according to Vladimir Nabokov—that a writer really needs: Shamantsvo, the ability to cast a spell, to enchant.

The Four Corners of the Sky
Enjoyable but too long. Needed a really good edit... I think about 150 pages could easily have been ditched. Having said that, I enjoyed the tone of this book and the style of humor. This book was a "dramady", which I realized that I generally enjoy overall in both books and movies--it keeps the drama from getting too weighty and the comedy from getting too goofy. This book was well-balanced in that way. There were a couple characters that I found tedious though, and the parts of the plot involving the details of the father's cons I also found tedious. But I liked the little touches such as the Wizard of Oz references, and the unusual and unconventional family and friends the lead character had. I also liked how this book conveyed that even majorly imperfect family members (like the lead character's absent father) can have a large impact on someone's life.
