A quick, absorbing, read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I haven't gotten to "The Long Road Ahead" yet, but the first novella, "Escape Hatch" was so moving and engrossing that I finished it (after an intense morning with it glued to my fingers) changed. What struck me most about the work is how it refuses to pass judgement on its characters-- no one is good or evil, but everyone is lost, everyone is stuck in a world they don't want to be in. And the passages with the retarded son were especially touching. Read this story.
