Comments on: The Long Fall – Book Review http://www.caribousmom.com/2009/08/12/the-long-fall-book-review/ reading a good book with a furchild by my side Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:14:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Caribousmom http://www.caribousmom.com/2009/08/12/the-long-fall-book-review/comment-page-1/#comment-9298 Caribousmom Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:23:22 +0000 http://www.caribousmom.com/?p=4918#comment-9298 Kathy: If you like hard boiled...this one will be right up your alley! Amy: It took me about 50 pages to get into the flow of the book. Diane: There are definitely a lot of characters in this one. This is my first Mosley, so I can't compare it to his other work unfortunately. Anne: regarding Mosley's books - this was my first, so I have no other recommendations for him. I would be interested to read another (earlier) book by him to see how it compares. It did seem that a lot of Mosley fans weren't thrilled with The Long Fall for some reason. Rhapsody: Good to see you liked it! *laughing* about the 40s movie scene - that's all I could think of while I was reading it :) Staci: I hope you'll like it! You'll have to let me know what you think once you've read it :) Kathy: If you like hard boiled…this one will be right up your alley!

Possibly then this isn't the one to try if you and other commentators have found it difficult. Any other suggestions?

I think it was because I read a few reviews and there were lots of characters to keep track of. I like his audio books and too many people is too confusing on audio --for mr at least. Thanks for the review; i appreciate it. I usually LOVE Walter Mosley’s books, but for some reason I passed on this one.
