Book Reviews of River Teeth: Stories and Writings
Book Review: An incredible surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
River Teeth is a richly woven and intricate collection of short works. Duncan's writing is thick like poetry; his words are delictible. River Teeth explores the beauty of life through glimpses of nature, family, and human spirituality. Duncan is my favorite author and this is my favorite book.Book Review: Excellent! Surprizing, enjoyable, humorous and wise.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read these stories several years ago. I still refer to many of them often in conversations. I particularly liked "Her Idiots", "Giving Normal the Finger" and "The Garbage Man's Daughter". Any time I am around a stream or river, including recently with a group in New Zealand, I tell people about Duncan's book and story "River Teeth". Then I go on to praise his other books, particularly THE RIVER WHY. Great writer! Great writing!Book Review: Great Collection of Stories From A Great Writer
Summary: 4 Stars
David James Duncan gives us a book full of stories from his past and new fiction. These stories give great incite to what caused the development of the River Why and The Brothers KBook Review: I laughed out loud in the library . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
as I read this book. Although I don't like fishing (Duncan's favorite subject), I do like good stories. And Duncan knows how to write them. This book is easy to read because it is a compilation of short stories, albeit some better than others. But all the stories are worth reading at least once. And believe me, after the first time, you will be returning to read a few of the stories over and over. I know I did.Book Review: Less the good.
Summary: 1 Stars
Much like Hemingway, I read this book over and over and over but found no substance. Maybe I'm looking for more than a quick read. Duncan's writings are not without their musings but I found most of these stories led nowhere using simple concepts to convey or overcome a challenge.
