[ 4.0 stars ] "I'm puzzled by the negative responses to Liars and Saints, a novel I found unusually compelling and perceptive. Granted, it probably helps if you're a lapsed Catholic of one of the generations Meloy writes of. For those of use who are, the theme of how what worked for our parents' generation failed the young Catholics of the 60s is rendered with great sensitivity and sympathy for both ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "Yes, the book is written in a simple, straight forward manner, but the ideas and thoughts and character are extremely deep. The facts could have been of a family of any religion and anywhere in the world. It is definitely a thought provoking work and should be required reading in every high school. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Maille Melloy's book is a page-turner. Could not put it down. The characters come alive on the page and make decisions that seem fairly rational at the time but have negative consequences that reverberate through the generations until one heroic character decides to ferret out the truth. She reveals the messiness of family relationships and illuminates the ties that bind us together. The h ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "The book is well-written and compelling. It is an easy read. I find it very moving for I have been exposed to something I don't see, or experience, in everyday life. I find it all very sad, but I suspect this is a proper description of a non-negligible portion of Americans (and not just an extreme case). ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 2.0 stars ] "I thoroughly hate this book. I'm not even very sure what it's supposed to be about, but the plot includes a housewife in the 50s who has an affair, someone getting pregnant, people sleeping with those they shouldn't, people dying. (A vague summary; I'm trying not to reveal spoilers here.) It's a thoroughly depressing, deflating, and pointless book, filled with tragedies and dep ..." Courtesy by Amazon
