Summary: Building A Community
Review: This beautifully written book does a superb job of answering its own question: "How do people live in this world?" Huneven builds bridges between people in this book and makes it feel real and effortless. People live in this world by making connections that matter, thus lightening the burdens of their solitary lives.

Summary: A Quintessential L.A. Novel
Review: With William James as inspiration, L.A. Weekly restaurant critic Huneven has crafted a deceptively simple but immensely powerful tale about the subjective nature of human experience. A judicious editor might have sliced about forty pages from this weighty tome but overall a wonderful read with characters that will stay with you long after you have put the book down. My vote for the film portrayal of Pete Ross goes to Vincent D'Onofrio.
