Hainey deftly weaves family history and personal memory into his quest for the truth about his father, creating for the reader an incredible and captivating story. Highly recommended. ["Readers may intuit quickly what happened the night of Hainey's father's death, but the portrait of the bygone world of the Chicago newspaper industry and the slow unraveling of the puzzle surrounding Bob Hainey's life, rather than his death, will keep readers interested beyond that point," read the review of the Scribner hc, LJ Xpress Reviews, 3/21/13.]
What may have seemed like attractive male sexual dominance upon the book's original 1985 release now reads more like cringe-worthy workplace harassment and sexual assault. While Breeda Kelly Miller reads the text with ample nuance and feeling, there are plenty of newer, better romance titles that will leave readers feeling much more satisfied.
Anglophiles in particular will enjoy this audiobook, which is recommended for most libraries with contemporary fiction holdings. ["Expertly timed to capitalize on the glow emanating from the Diamond Jubilee, the satire here is featherweight (Kuhn is no Sue Townsend) in this 60-gun salute to the establishment that perpetuates the institution of the monarchy," read the less-appreciative review of the HarperCollins hc, LJ 8/12.—Ed.]
