Russo's chronicle of lost hearts and lost dreams in Empire Falls

Date of Review:  Jun 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: This one picked up a Pulitzer Prize for best novel. Excellent storytelling, characters that remain with you.
Review: I tend to avoid the mainstream bestsellers, but I had heard so many good comments about Richard Russo's Empire Falls, that when the time was right, I settled in to take it all in, and found myself immersed into the cares of a small town in Maine...

No more tapes??? I miss my friends from Empire Falls!!

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is in my top five of the best audiobooks of all time. Don't take my word for it - just listen for yourself!
Review: I recently took a trip out of town - and drove.. SIGH!! Sometimes it seems as though my life is one giant car trip. But on the bright side, I was able to finish Richard Russo's "Empire Falls" with undivided attention. That's right - I didn't watch...

Welcome to Empire Falls: Home of Regret and Lost Ambition

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: Richard Russo has written the definitive turn-of-the-century epic novel of small-town America. This book teems with eccentricity and brilliancy.
Review: Richard Russo?s Empire Falls might just replace Larry McMurtry?s Thalia, Texas as the greatest dying town in American literature.

Like the one-stoplight community in The Last Picture Show, Russo?s fictional Maine town has seen better days...
