Mama Day

Rating:
Summary: One of my favorites.
Review: It is raining in San Francisco and I just picked this book up to read again....for the fourth time. It feels like visiting an old friend: warm, comfortable and easy.

I lost too many people because of AIDS, one in particular. Thanks to this book I know Randy Garvin will ALWAYS look like love to me. If you read this story, you know what I mean.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Brilliant! Powerful! A genius of a writer! Prose worthy of a Pulitzer! Would that I could aspire to be such a great writer. Naylor's style is at times playful, other times penetrating, piercing the soul of the reader with vivid images of the small town and colorful characters. Subject matter is a little dark for me (especially toward the end) but the writing is superb!

Summary: Amazing.
Review: Mama Day is a wonderful, powerful book. The people and places are described so vividly that at times it is difficult to remember that you aren't in Willow Springs with them, you are just reading a book about them. Intense and insightful, one of the best books I have ever read.
