Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil

John Berendt


A crime/travel book. This is supposedly a true story but if so then Doreen says it's fairly unbelievable. The author describes the various characters that he encounters in the town of Savannah in Georgia, USA. At the time of the meeting Doreen was only a third of the way through the book and a definite plot had yet to really reveal itself but the characters and writing were entertaining enough that she wouldn't be terribly disappointed if no story arose at all.
Doreen 8/2/98

Journalistic book in which a writer infiltrates the most flamboyant elements of a southern states US city. Andrew was intrigued as to how the author introduced himself to these people and felt that he influenced the actions of these unsavoury and attention seeking individuals by boasting that he was writing a book about the all. With everyone desperate for their own 15 minutes of fame, the consequence was not so shocking.

Gill liked the part of the book which describes the characters in Savannah, Georgia but thought the second part of the book very boring, a typical American courtroom drama "...and they think that's so sexy, don't they?"
