Book Reviews of The Falls: A Novel (P.S.)
Book Review: "Because it is Bittter...
Summary: 3 Stars
and Because it is My Heart." This could easily have been the title of JCO's newest soap-operatic melodrama, complete with names, situations, and the juxtaposition of rich/poor found only in daytime TV. From the pen of a writer of less repute and skill, this work could easily have been dismissed as a future miniseries potboiler. When Ariah's mother-in-law drips acid from her tongue, one can easily envision some old-money matriarch such as Phoebe Tyler. And yet, because she's prolific and because she has often stolen my heart, I persevere and excuse her the italics, the exclamation points, the impossibly ridiculous situations and red herrings. In a sea of too many books and not enough literature, JCO's waterfall of words can still engage and sweep me away for a few days. After John Irving's wretched "Until I find You", the toxic fumes of Love Canal were like a breath of fresh air.
