Title: Different perceptions Product review: Funny? An enjoyable read? Not hardly. Engrossing? Disturbing? I think these adjectives are more appropriate. This story of 19 year old Harley who is suddenly the head of a family caught in the middle of murder, incest, poverty and dysfunction (to put it midly) is dark and riveting. As other customer reviewers have indicated, Back Roads is a difficult book to put down. O'Dell does an excellent job of writing in a male first person voice - something that I think takes a particular talent for writers depicting characters of the opposite sex. However, the continuous trauma suffered by the children in this family only results in more pain. Just when you think there is a flicker of normalcy for them, the candle once again blows out. As the end of the novel drew near, I was looking forward to some redemption, some promise, some hope - and found none. O'Dell has an eviable way with words in her descriptions and dialogue. I look forward to giving her next effort another try. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: Disappointing Product review: When I heard that Nanci Griffith had produced a sequel to Other Voices, I rush out and purchased it. A mistake, but I have made them before. The choice of musical selections has an uncertain feel to it. It has the feeling as being made up from selections that should have been left on the editing room floor. The performance of the Stephen Foster selection was unflattering to the writer and was work to listen to. Emmylou Harris did a much better rendition in her Live at the Ryman album. This is the first dud that I have purchased that Nanci Griffith released. It can be summed up as "Not up to Her Quality."
