from patience_crabstick

This is the sort of book you have to read twice. The text is too rich to take it all in the first time you read it. More than a coming of age story, it's the story of an entire family, with all the ugliness that most families hide, exposed.

from BrittanySteve

Brilliant decsriptions and flights of wordy fancy, have red it many times, most thrilling read of my life.

Everyone has a big fat book in their life. This is mine.

Thomas Wolfe schildert in seinem autobiographischen Roman die Geschichte der Familie Gant.

from JBreedlove

Wolfe's first and greatest novel. A heartfelt and well done telling of his unusually intense youth in the mountains of North Carolina. Great American prose writing.
