But Gilmour's funny, surprisingly moving books reflects a more liberal era." - Maclean's "David Gilmour is . . . an honest and talented writer, earnestly working to capture the details and feelings of a lost youth." - The Globe and Mail "Lost Between Houses is more than just a voice making personal confessions and social commentaries. This is a very carefully crafted set of interlocking stories that, without a moment's infidelity with its main character or to the tone of the book, unfolds a series of comic and tragic incidents in a year of the narrator's life." - National Post "This is the novel Gilmour was born to write. Lost Between Houses is strongly reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye, and in fact I would go so far as to say it offers many improvements on it." - Toronto Star "[Gilmour's] latest novel, Lost Between Houses, amply demonstrates his skills by defying the odds stacked against a too-familiar narrative - the coming of age tale." - Hour Magazine "Gilmour leads the way on this wry, funny journey - without losing anyone between the pages." - Calgary Straight "Lost Between Houses is an entertaining read, largely because Gilmour's realisn rarely makes a false step." - Eye magazine "Lost Between Houses is fun, no question: raunchy, rock'n'roll, running on blather; good reading for teenage boys and the terminal adolescent in middle-aged men . . . Girls and women should enjoy it too . . ." - Ottawa Citizen "Lost Between Houses is not just a knock-off of Catcher in the Rye . . . Discussing them in the same breath tells us how well Gilmour's book stacks up against Salinger's, not merely as an imitation, but as a great book in its own right." - New Brunswick Telegraph - Journal "Magic . . . This is Catcher-in-the-Rye-land . . . the wealth of perception also evokes Roddy Doyle's amazing feat of imagination, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha." - Hamilton Spectator |
