Book Reviews of The Last Days of Dogtown

Another excellent book from the author of The Red Tent! I love Diamant's writing style and she's wonderful at capturing the feel of different time periods. I loved this book (although Red Tent will always be my favorite).

Great read. Borders on chick lit.

Not as good as The Red Tent but a good book all the same. Diamant is a terrific writer and makes me care about all her characters.

Being a huge fan of "The Red Tent," I was expecting to totally love this book. I did not find it nearly as engaging as some of Diamant's other work. Still, it's worth the read.

The book is very slow, but the story is touching. I enjoyed the book very much.

Easy, entertaining read. Rich characters.

Early 19th century New England. Lots of really interesting characters. Quick read. I enjoyed it.

Although not as good as The Red Tent, I did feel sad to see it end.

This book is small but interesting to read. It is about the last residents of a dying town in New England in the early l800's and is full of strange but loveable characters. I would recommend this book highly. Genny Sikes

A compelling story written in exquisite prose.

I loved Diamant's book, The Red Tent. It's hard for any novel to measure up to my love for The Red Tent....It's my favourite! This one was not as good, but Diamant is a fantastic writer and it's worth the read.

A story of the folks who people a village near Cape Ann, Mass. in the 1800's. Written "with compassion for her characters" states The Boston Globe and many of them are women.

This story gives a unique perspective to the people who lived in Dogtown, Massachusetts.
