Review title: Plagiarism, shmlagiarism...
Product review: Angle of Repose is a book you should read. It has many flaws, and is the kind of book that can be easily put down...but it can just as easily be picked up again.Stegner showboats a bit with his (ubiquitous) descriptive passages, employing more adjectives than are perhaps necessary: "...the moonlight lay like pallid dust in the feathered and pebbly blibbety-blab..."--that type of thing. Very pedantic, very Creative Writing...but he was a professor, so understandable.The plot is also a bit repetitious, and you may find yourself thinking: "Again?!" when the dramatis personae suffer yet, yet, another reverse.However, these flaws do not scupper what is, overall, a special book, written by a talented, top-notch writer. Angle of Repose deserves its spot on the MLA 100, and deserves your consideration.
