'Splendidly entertaining, thoughtful' -- Sunday Telegraph 20050501 'A tasty novel. Funny, sad, mad, scary ... I liked it a lot.' -- Independent on Sunday 20050417 'Refreshing ... entertaining ... [with] wry precision and expert timing' -- New York Times 20050418 'It's been a long time since I've read a book as compulsively, indeed greedily, as I read CITIZEN VINCE. Here are characters who seem to live of their own volition, who talk out of a terrible inner need to make themselves known and understood, who reveal not just themselves but the yearning heart of our great flawed democracy.' -- Richard Russo, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of EM 20050418 'A nerve-tingling narrative' -- Manchester City Life 20050421 'Dazzling ... wry dialogue ... agile prose ... and a finely tuned plot.' -- Seattle Times 20050424 'Utterly inventive ... excruciatingly breathless' -- Washington Post Book World 20050410 'Admirably unpredictable ... always engrossing. Walter's best by far.' -- Kirkus Reviews 20040901 'Citizen Vince is fresh and different - a gritty story of betrayal, and an extended riff on life, death and politics. Walter is a literary talent writ large.' -- Boston Globe 20040901 'This tale of unlikely redemption works because of Walter's virtuoso command of character and dialogue - along with a wicked second-act twist' -- Booklist 20040901 'Intelligently written, bittersweet and thoroughly absorbing.' -- Seattle Times, on OVER TUMBLED GRAVES 20040901 'Jess Walter has just about lapped the field with his superior first novel OVER TUMBLED GRAVES. The suspense and surprises are terrific, but best of all are the characters he has managed to create.' -- James Patterson on OVER TUMBLED GRAVES 20040901 'Walter renders his blind land with a clear-eyed, compassionate vision.' -- Kirkus Reviews, on LAND OF THE BLIND 20040901 'A most accomplished debut.' -- Sunday Telegraph, on OVER TUMBLED GRAVES 20040901
