Summary: mayberry mystique
Comment: This is the first Jonathan Carroll title I've ever read. I won't go into describing the plot, you can get that from the many reviews this book has already accumulated. I must admit, this book is inconsistent, there are times I had a very difficult time putting it down. Yet, other times, I literally dreaded picking up the book. I'm still processing my first experience of Carroll. I'm somewhat disappointed, and left wondering about too many loose ends, but I'm still willing to give him a another try because I can see the wonderful traits of an excellent author. I know from reading other reviews, Carroll is obviously very much loved by his fans and I do not wish to 'dog' him and I would very much like to see the side of his style that is so amazing. I do believe that this book is probably not the best of the list, nor is it the best one to begin reading for a first Carroll novel.

Summary: A wonderful fantasy
Comment: Frannie McCabe, a former juvenile delinquent, has settled into a content, middle-aged existence as a police officer in Crane's View. Then, one day, he starts to care for a stray dog, which promptly dies in the middle of his office floor. This starts off a chain of strange and fantastical events, involving versions of himself from different points in his life, a threat to his wife's health, and a mysterious billionaire, along with the dead dog, which keeps reappearing.
I'm not explaining this nearly as well as Carroll writes it. This is a wonderful book, exploring the nature of time and how it changes us all. It is an elegant, neat book, and a wonderful read.

Summary: Wooden mind reading more Carroll
Comment: Thanks to Amazon's You may also like... I picked up this one, and now I think I have a new favorite author. This is a truly creative book with wonderful characters and a convoluted but engaging plot. Man takes in three legged dog. Dog dies but refuses to stay buried or dead. Man talks to aliens, time-travels, changes his life, and sees the Beatles. Tears, surprises, and just the right amout of hilarity thrown in. I'm glad Carroll has written so many, I won't have to wait to read his next one.
