5.0 out of 5 stars Everthing you could want in a fantasy novel, 28 April 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Way to Babylon (Hardcover)
This is the best book I have read in a long time. I'd never heard of Paul Kearney before, and I found a copy of this in a second hand book shop. How could anybody part with a novel like this? It is absolutley fantastic and I am currently on a mission to find every book written by this Kearney fellow. Remarkable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, 13 Mar 2008
By Nicholas Whyte (Oud Heverlee, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A rather lyrically done tale of a fantasy novelist who is recovering from an accident in which his wife died, and finds himself sucked bodily into the world he has created - or has he? Was it perhaps "really" there all the time?

The protagonist's grief and healing are nicely observed. It would be very easy to fall into being twee with a plot like this, and Kearney skilfully avoids that trap. All very well described.
