Book Reviews of The Rich Man's Table
Book Review: A good contemporary novel but high literature it's not!
Summary: 4 Stars
I like Bob Dylan, and I like the premise of this book; it's fun to read about places like P.S. 41 in Manhattan if one grew up there. This tale of the quest for the absent father has some good writing in it, but it is no better or worse than a dozen other "literary" novels. The prose is good, but not innovative or especially perspicacious concerning the measure of the human heart. But then who am I to judge. I'm just articulating my views in this silly forum, while Scott Spencer has made tons of money with "Endless Love" and other work. More power to him.
