Postcards

Annie Proulx Rocks!

This is my second copy of this book. I loaned my first copy out and it never came back, so I bought another and read it again. I have all of her books and can't wait until there are more. She is one of the few authors that ifeel the need to all of the books and re-read them. Good books are like great paintings. You wouldn't look at a great painting only one time, and good books are the same. In A.P.'s writing you can see, taste, feel and smell what she us writing about. They are just about perfect in every way.

Still undecided

As an A Level student studying American literature it was compulsory for me to read postcards, I didn't enjoy it at first but now as i delve further into the novel it is far more interesting. I am still however undecided as to whether or not i like it.

Postcards will haunt you

Annie Proulx style of writing demands attention as the moment the mind wanders you are lost. I read the Shipping News and really didn't like it, but with Postcards I couldn't put it down. The deeper you go into this story the more tragic it becomes. Loyal stayed with me for days, and that is how I judge a good book, when it won't leave me.

Typical Good Proulx

Most like her book Postcards, it is the tale of many characters that embroider a central theme. The ending is a bit convenient and heart warm, with a certain nod to sex and violence.
