Excellent

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 21, 1998

As all of Tabitha King's Nodd Ridge stories, this one was captivating and beautifully written. Lovers of series books will enjoy these stories as each one continues where a previous one left off, or adds rich layers to an already full and well developed cast of characters.

A Real taste of down home Maine, sans the lobster!

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 9, 1997

Tabitha King is a Maine native who really knows first hand what life in small town Maine is really like. In the character Reuben Styles she portrays the life of rural Maine, where the everyday real people live and work. Reuben's life will take you on a ride through a part of rural Maine that the travel bureau would never lead you. Don't expect lobsters and lighthouses

Exquisitely painful.

By Thriftbooks.com User, December 11, 1996

"The Book of Reuben" is a ticket back to the town of Nodd's Ridge, Maine, visited previously in King's books "The Caretaker", "The Trap" and "One on One". This trip focuses on Reuben Styles, a young man of tremendous integrity and almost infinite patience. We watch his seamless passage from high school student to a textbook pillar of the community. Cliche though it sounds, the transition is not only believable, but admirable...
