Redhead By The Side Of The Road
by Anne Tyler
View in Library Catalog



First problem; I read the whole book and still do not know where the title came from. A single man, who is particular about the way things need to be, suddenly finds a young man on his doorstep who thinks he is his father. Sounds interesting, but I kept waiting for something to happen, and it didn't.

Very well written though sometimes uncomfortable to read . Almost a coming of age story of a young black woman , finding her ground , career and adult life - short and sweet with a bit sour mixed in .

This book was well written but a bit to disturbing for me.
At First Sight

While I really like Cannell’s books, I did not love this one. This is, however, a perfect example of a false narrator, and the ending is what make the story OK. A married man spies a beautiful woman, also married, across a pool and falls madly in love with her. How far will he go to win her over?

Powerful, emotional and shocking

So here is a perfect example of why I try really hard not to give up on a book once I start it. The beginning is filled with a description of so many odd named people and one line of their back story that I almost put this down for good. But I hung in there and was rewarded. It’s really a touching tale of life in a community in Brooklyn in 1969 and all the trouble and beauty that went with it. It was a time when everyone knew everyone and taking care of one another was everything. There are a couple of just very silly parts, but overall the writing is beautiful and inspired. Hang in there; it’s worth it!
The Regulators

While, in the end, I loved this book, I felt like it started in the middle of something that had been going on, and I fell a bit adrift. But it’s one of those stories that explains things after the fact, and it’s worth it so you just have to hang in there. Weird story about an autistic boy who becomes inhabited by something evil. Lots of violence, so you can’t be squeamish. The amazing thing is that the ending of this otherwise brutal book is actually very tender.

The Lions Of Fifth Avenue

Now here is a genre that I would not normally read, but I have read two of her books recently and enjoyed both very much. And what book could be better for a bibliophile than his one that takes place in a library? The story bounces back and forth between two time frames and gives you a look challenges faced by a family who used to live in and care for the NY public library and the current challenges faced by the library’s special collection curators. I learn so much by reading her books.
