Hardcover ¹ Girls Epub ´ girls download, Girls KindleGirls A Novel by Frederick Busch is a 2011 Ballantine publicationThis is an older novel which was recommended to me from a book group I decided to join The synopsis sounded different but promising While the book is absorbing in many ways the focus is mostly centered on Jack and Fanny’s relationship and grief and less on the missing girls for the most part The last quarter of the book does begin to concentrate on that thread but the relationship issues are still overpowering As the story progresses it becomes darker and very disturbing I found some of the subject matter and thought processes of the main characters very concerning Jack and Fanny lost their only child and are trying unsuccessfully to hold their marriage together Along the way Jack gets sucked into the disappearance of a teenage girl from a neighboring town He is asked t
Hardcover ¹ Girls Epub ´ girls download, Girls KindleWhen I finished this book last night at 200am I got choked up This was such a riveting rhythmic literary work that if in movie form would be considered a classic film Needless to say it’s tied with “Sharp Objects” for the best I’ve read – though they are both in different categories so to speakBusch’s pace and structure was amazing and it was as if I was reading off silk The prose was simple and beautiful loaded with imagery and absolutely stellar dialogue The characters were well developed especially the protagonist Jack along with Fanny Archie and Rosalie – who I adored Overall however it was Busch’s subtleties in language and inference that made this novel explode in its richness Theses subtleties truly shined in his phenomenal totally realistic dialogue The dramatic interchange between characters was qui
Hardcover ¹ Girls Epub ´ girls download, Girls KindleI’ve always liked the way that Joyce Carol Oates has been able to capture the “quiet desperation” of muddling through in the average lives of New England and New York I had never read anything of Frederick Busch before and this story of a nearly broken former cop turned security guard and his near obsessive investigation into the disappearance of a local girl is impressively hauntingNot really a whodunit – the investigation is almost secondary – but the book follows the protagonist's inexorable drag into obsession and its effects on him his marriage and his life Real and raw – and with amazing prose – this book s
Hardcover ¹ Girls Epub ´ girls download, Girls KindleI wanted to like this book but I just couldn't get into it At first it was the subject matter because I hate dead baby things but then I didn't care for the protagonist The big reveals were so drawn out and late that I guessed them that always puts me a little out I felt like I was walking through an architecture museum beautiful examples of structure and counterbalance and fascia but nothing wholly formed to transport me to another place
Hardcover ¹ Girls Epub ´ girls download, Girls KindleTo call a novel messy may be an unusual way to compliment it but that word comes to mind after I read “Girls A Novel” by Frederick Busch What I liked about this 1996 novel is that many of its components are messy The weather – upstate New York in the winter – is messy with the seemingly nonstop cloudiness snow and cold permeating the atmosphere The four main characters are morally and emotionally complex and flawed indeed messed up taking actio
Hardcover ¹ Girls Epub ´ girls download, Girls KindleThe best word I can think of to describe Frederick Busch’s novel Girls is muscular The novel has certainly received much higher praise than that Glamour Magazine called it “powerful” and went on to describe it as an intriguing crime story although the novel’s real strength lay with the main character’s “growing insight about his marriage his town and himself which transforms this page turner about lost children into a tender and eloquent examination of the even greater m
Hardcover ¹ Girls Epub ´ girls download, Girls KindleThis is the only Frederick Busch book that I've read so I wasn't sure what to expect His writing style reminds me a bit of Cormac McCarthy in that both of them can convey so MUCH with so FEW words It's a gift to find a writer that with a single sentence gives you the feeling of being kicked in the gut with its power and it happened with this book numerous times The subject matter that of the disapperance of a young girl and the toll it takes on her family and our protagonist Jack is very dark and difficult to think about let alone be willing read about However Busch's characters were so REAL to me that I found myself marveling at the people and their cho
Hardcover ¹ Girls Epub ´ girls download, Girls KindleOverall I just think I didn't really like the narrator of this book and that's the real reason I didn't enjoy it I loved that it was set at my alma mater and I really wanted to love the whole book since the author is a Colgate professor but I just didn't enjoy reading it I felt that the storyline would make great jumps in time without warning and somehow we were always waiting for spring hadn't months gone by? He would say things like I think I knew who was behind this but not actually tell the reader what he was thinking Come on Give us some information even if it's just your guess man I accept that the information about his daughter was something we had to earn so we didn't learn about it until the very end but anything about the missing girl he's trying to find dude we've been here with you the whole time just tell me

Hardcover ¹ Girls Epub ´ girls download, Girls KindleI liked it but I probably won't read another As a mystery it's not too puzzling The author flagged whodunnit well before the protagonist figured it out The character was interesting up to a point By the end I kind of had him figured out too He's not that different from the good but broken man with a dark past in a lot of other books Maybe better written than most I think some of the books appeal
