Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-06 00:00:00 Elwood Hopkins WHY OH WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE FINISHING THIS BOOK!! I was close to thinking this the best book by him i'd ever read and often times wondered what happened next... and i never got to find out... it drives me insane because it was SOO good

Review # 2 was written on 2009-12-08 00:00:00 Cameron Wood This was an absolutely gripping read. The characters were so flawed and beautiful; the story was tragic, hopeful, smart and philosophical. The protagonist, Ruddy, and his son Tommy, have stayed on my mind all night. It all felt so realistic that I could see the whole thing playing out in my mind like a movie. Add to the wonderful story that this was only a manuscript/first draft (only draft) that Richard Wright wrote makes this even more of a literary gift. His daughter did well to finally publish this work untouched and flawed, just like his characters. I will reread this throughout the years.
