Summary: More about LUNATICS . . .
Review: Elizabeth Hand, in THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD, writes that "LUNATICS is like that one perfect unforgettable song that summons up a summer: breezy, sunstruck, joyous. It's a book that leaves you humming."
(By the way, just so no one's confused: Gordon Van Gelder isn't a LUNATICS co-author. He was the book's acquiring editor at St. Martin's Press.)

Summary: I was disappointed even though I didn't wanna' be :<
Review: I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Blackburn by Denton and figured I'd equally love everything else he'd written, but it really felt as if lost interest in this book about 3/4's of the way through it. It felt he got bored. I sure did. I'll still read everything else he's done and hope it's more on the scale of Blackburn. Just one man's opinion.

Summary: a love story with people you care about
Review: I really enjoyed "Lunatics." I don't care much for love stories, but this is more a story about the people who love the lovers, and how everyone we know is affected by the choices we make.

Summary: big chill and the moon
Review: I thought of the movie The Big Chill while I read this. I also thought of the small number of writers who write fantasy from their private slice of reality. Denton's writing is a wonder, and unlike the moon with its habit of coming and going, my interest in Lunatics never waned. Every character was unique and worth knowing. I've given this book as a gift many times. Smart, endearing writing. Someone mentions in another review that this book is unlike Blackburn (another great book.) Which it is. Thus the wonder of Bradley Denton. I'm looking forward to his next book.

Summary: Crazy for Lunatics
Review: I'm only 16 years old but i picked up this book in the library, just to have something to read. I brought i over to a friend's house and read it and it was an amazing story. Every character fit in with the personality of every close friend i had. To tell the truth, the book got really creepy because it was so accurate with the characters. This is one of the few books that i could'nt put down, literally. And surprisingly enough it was a romance novel but still humorous and very very clever witha touch of fantasy in it. Very good novel.

Summary: I was disappointed even though I didn't wanna' be :<
Review: Lunatics was my introduction to the world of Bradley Denton. And I must say, I'm very impressed. The characters, while perhaps slightly stereotypical, nevertheless manage to hold onto some depth, and are at all times very enjoyable. Even minor characters, such as Halle's lovers Duane and Tommy, come across as genuine and real. And the tangled web that these characters weave is at times incredibly humorous, and at other times a very poignant and sharp comment on relationships and what they mean to life itself. A measure of a book is if it can keep me up at night. Many books can do this. An even greater measure is if a book gets me out of bed on a Saturday morning. This one did that. Definite must read. (Tom Robinson fans take note.)

Summary: Fun premise marred by unlikabe scene stealing 2ndary charact
Review: This is a wacky book. I'm not even sure how to classify it really - fantasy/contemporary/comedy. In a nutshell it's about a guy, Jack, who is in love with a moon goddess. His friends, neighbors, and local cops all think he's a loon because he spends one night a month outside, naked as can be, awaiting his lover from the moon (it's the only way she's able to find him). In an attempt to save him from a permanent stint in jail his friends spend each full moon with him in a cabin located way out in the boonies. It's not long before his friends begin to become affected by the presence of Jack's moon goddess and they begin to have relationship troubles. The book started out funny and the premise was wild but eventually the story turned dull as more and more time was spent on Jack's self-centered, annoying friends who were lusting after each others' wives/boyfriends/etc. etc. I really liked Jack and his moon goddess Lily - they were the only compassionate characters in the bunch - but his friends hogged up most of the book

Summary: A tale full of hope, love, and magic.
Review: With Lunatics, Bradley Denton spins a magical, delightful tale. The book made me laugh out loud, which earned me some looks askance, yet it also brought me to tears with its sweet conclusion. The blurring of the line between the tangible, workaday world, and the world of spirits, goddesses, and love, recalls the magical realism of such writers of Garcia Marquez. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who is ready to be moved by a tale of the transformative power of love and the curative power of passion
