Product Description
Michael Moorcock in Guardian (Review), May 2003
...Carroll has a unique and sophisticated vision...

Synopsis
A captivating and constantly surprising tale of life, death, and the realm between. Vincent Ettrich, an engaging philanderer, discovers that he has died and come back to life -- but he has no idea why, or any memory of the experience. Beset by peculiar omens and strange characters, including a talking rat and an inexplicable tattoo on the neck of his most recent lover, he gradually discovers that he was deliberately brought back by his one true love, Isabelle, because she is pregnant with their son--a child who, if correctly raised, will play a crucial role in saving the cosmic mosaic that is the universe. But to be brought up right, he must be educated by his own father. Specifically, he must be taught what Ettrich learned on the other side--if only Ettrich himself can remember it! Tempting and provocative, White Apples is forbidden fruit plucked straight from the orchard of Jonathan Carroll's abundant and legendary imagination.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yawn, 10 Dec 2003
Plodding story line that takes forever to develop. Creeping suburban banality throughout - token gay person - 'importance' of kids - blah blah blah. Droning dialogue that goes nowhere. And I must quote the ultimate in dreary, banal internal dialogue: "Riding back up to the sixth floor in the elevator, Ettrich thought about what both men had said. They were right - the three of them had in a bizarre way been reincarnated. But what good was the experience if you had no idea of what to do with it? What good was a lesson if you learned nothing from it?" ... come on....

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars from SFX Magazine review, 6 April 2003
By A Customer
"This is a book with a diabolical grin. It's also one of the most disturbing pieces of fiction you'll ever read, guaranteed to soak through into your subconscious and stay there for a very long time. Carroll has the knack of showing us fear in a handful of dust; or a crowded fashionable restaurant, a hospital corridor, a car park, the city zoo. No matter how weird things get, you can't help staying with it till the end. Read it if you dare.
