Book Review of The Garden of Last Days

The Garden of Last Days


Garden of Last Days is an incredible novel that kept me engaged to the last page. I hesitate to call it a thriller because all of the action happens inside the characters' minds. Dubus' genius is reminding us that we all have stories -- every single character who is reduced to a stereotype on TV has a story, even terrorists, strippers, and kidnappers.
