          <body><![CDATA[Harrumph. I bought this book because I read an admiring review of it in the New York Times. And, I was interested in the premise -- after a near-fatal car accident, a man doesn't recognize his own sister, who comes back to their miserable Nebraska hometown to care for him.

          <body><![CDATA[It's hard to find fault with a book that carries such a political payload. But I'm going to do it anyway. I respect the fact that Eggars and Deng decided to cast this book as a novel, versus a memoir -- this acknowledges the unreliability of memory in general, especially a young child's memory of an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15043024">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[Thanks for this review, Amy. I've been afraid to read this book -- CM is  sooooo dark -- but your thoughts about how a glut of darkness makes the soul right itself, made me think that I might be able to manage the book. My screen saver on my computer is a CM quote, from Child of God, which is a creepy creepy book. If you haven't read it and you're up for another dose of the Dark Side one of these days, give it a whirl...]]></body>
