Review: Night Film by Marisha Pessl

  • By Roger Barrett · Friday, Sep 6, 2013

“Night Film” is instantly chilling, and is the best skewed ghost story you will read this year. It’s a passport into the world of horror films, cult fandom, and the burdens of the unknown.

Review: Countdown City by Ben H. Winters

  • By Roger Barrett · Friday, Jul 26, 2013

Countdown City is an end of the world adventure you will love reading, with an ending that sets the stage for Book 3. Get into this series if you’re looking for some philosophy in your escapism.

Flyer book review: Joyland by Stephen King

  • By Roger Barrett · Wednesday, Jun 5, 2013

King lets the murder mystery and ghost story drift to the periphery, and you realize that the book is a coming-of-age tale in which the real killer is time.

Flyer book review: Pacific by Tom Drury

  • By Roger Barrett · Tuesday, May 14, 2013

Drury’s Grouse County novels are naturalism verging on surreal, simultaneously heartbreaking and funny, and supremely true. His characters want to find themselves, and live in the world. Find this book.

Flyer book review: NOS4A2

  • By Roger Barrett · Monday, Apr 29, 2013

You never fall out of the author’s spell because you never stop believing that what you’re reading is real, a rare and exceptional feat for a horror/fantasy writer.

Flyer book review: The Next Time You See Me

  • By Roger Barrett · Wednesday, Feb 20, 2013

This is a novel that you will read quickly, think about often, lend to friends, and want to read again.

Flyer book review: Live By Night

  • By Roger Barrett · Friday, Oct 12, 2012

“Live By Night” is presented in a cinematic sweep, free from dull moments. It’s a book you’ll want to finish immediately in a marathon read.

Flyer book review: Telegraph Avenue

  • By Roger Barrett · Tuesday, Sep 25, 2012

More than a novel, “Telegraph Avenue” is a history of race relations, and forgotten crimes that are real and imagined. It’s also a time capsule that may contain your last chance to walk inside a locally owned record store. Bury it for your kids.

Flyer book review: NW

  • By Roger Barrett · Friday, Sep 7, 2012

There will not be another book like this written until the next Zadie Smith novel, a novel that challenges you to notice. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.

Flyer book review: Gone Girl

  • By Roger Barrett · Thursday, Aug 9, 2012

“Gone Girl” is a tightrope walk of a novel. A believable tale about ordinary people caught in the dark side of love, and going through the motions. Expect the unexpected.

Flyer book review: Broken Harbor

  • By Roger Barrett · Friday, Jul 27, 2012

“Broken Harbor” works great as a stand-alone psychological mystery, but even better if you’ve read the series. I highly recommend it for fans of literary crime thrillers.
