Book Reviews of A Fine and Private Place
Book Review: 40 years, and still one of my favorites
Summary: 5 Stars
I dare anyone to read the first two paragraphs and not be completely entranced. I did, at the University of Rochester Book Store in the late 1960s, and I've bought more than a dozen copies since. Beagle's writing is sublime, his imagination seductive. And while I've been a fan of science fiction since childhood, I'd never have said I liked fantasy, but this may be the exception. Perhaps it's not fantasy but metaphysics? While it is hard to describe this book in a paragraph, it's certain to grab your fancy and just not let go.
