I've never read any of his work but I like the sound of an author who is driven to make his books THAT good!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826574269910454849.post-41377711471553432862009-11-05T07:23:30.807-06:002009-11-05T07:23:30.807-06:00Thanks for the great feedback about Twisted River ...Thanks for the great feedback about Twisted River Christopher. I didn't even know he had a new book out until yesterday. I guess the press junket is getting the job done. And as a library junkie, Irving is one of the few authors I will always shell out cash for. His words are worth every penny.Lisa Katzenbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541571187216239983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826574269910454849.post-5083723767803037132009-11-05T06:50:08.149-06:002009-11-05T06:50:08.149-06:00He's such a great writer.

He can carry a story with prose, but his prose is never flowery or clever for the sake of clever. He can carry a story with his plotting. From every side, Irving is just great!<br /><br />I'm about halfway through Last Night in Twisted River, and it's great...especially for Irving fans. He slips in glimpses of his views on writing, and pokes fun at himself. It's a more suspenseful Irving novel; the early parts are like Jack London and Dickens channeled through Irving.<br /><br />In many ways, it's unlike a lot of his other books, but it's definitely an Irving novel!<br /><br />I'm loving it so far...Christopher Gronlundhttp://www.thejugglingwriter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826574269910454849.post-26120149743324309962009-11-04T19:59:33.633-06:002009-11-04T19:59:33.633-06:00I love John Irving.
