Moonglow (Chabon) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[C]harming and elegantly structured novel.... [Parts] sometimes feel forced. What seduces the reader is Chabon’s language, which reinvents the world, joyously, on almost every page.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.)Luminous.... The story builds to core revelations of wartime horror and postwar heartbreak as powerful as they come.
Library Journal


(Starred review.) His most beautifully realized novel to date .... a masterful and resounding novel of the dark and blazing forces that forged our tumultuous, confounding, and precious world.
Booklist


Chabon is an inveterate overwriter who dilutes his best storytelling with...ponderous digressions.... He’s captured a fine story about the poignancy of two souls’ survival but...[in the end] a heartfelt but sodden family saga.
