4.0 out of 5 stars New England White, 9 Dec 2008

By	Mrs. Bridget M. Ash "New England dreamer" (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: New England White (Hardcover)

I bought this book whilst on holiday in Boston and found it completely absorbing. I agree with the other review that the prose is perfect, but did not find it ponderous or laboured and I am a big fan of the James Patterson/Lee Child style of writing! The description of the New England area was evocative and will be enjoyed by anyone who has loved their stay along that beautiful coastline.

I also found the black/white dynamic fascinating and it helped give me an insight into how educated people of colour view their connection to US society.

I have bought a copy for my equally New England loving sister as feel I will to return to my copy and also just like seeing it on my bookshelf!

2.0 out of 5 stars So sloooooooow, 25 Aug 2007

By	Claretta (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New England White (Hardcover)

I'm rather embarrassed to be posting a review of a book which I didn't finish but, honestly, I tried my best. I have to admit I didn't get far with The Emperor of Ocean Park either but I was tempted to try New England White because of the rave reviews. Mr Carter does indeed write immaculate prose, gramatically impeccable, without a comma out of place. I liked his characters, there is a decent plot - but, golly, his perfect prose makes you want to nod off. And it is awfully repetitive. He's very fond of telling you the same thing two or three times, just in case you missed it (perhaps this comes of being a university professor?) I couldn't help thinking, as I dutifully ploughed through the pages, that if an editor had had the courage to tell him that not everything has to be described in minute detail, that sometimes a shorter word is better than a long one, this might be a much better book. Halfway through New England White, I gave up. Maybe I just have a short attention span.
