Description Toward Books Between the Bridge and the River

Bawdy, joyous, messy, hysterically funny, and guaranteed to offend regardless of religion, race, national origin, sexual orientation, or profession Between the Bridge and the River is the debut novel by Craig Ferguson, host of CBS's The Late Late Show.

Two childhood friends from Scotland and two illegitimate half-brothers from the American South suffer and enjoy all manner of bizarre experiences which, as it turns out, are somehow interconnected and, surprisingly enough, meaningful.

An eclectic cast of characters includes Carl Jung, Fatty Arbuckle, Virgil, Marat, Socrates, and Tony Randall. Love, greed, hope, revenge, organized religion, and Hollywood are alternately tickled and throttled. Impossible to summarize and impossible to stop reading, this is a romantic comic odyssey that actually delivers and rewards.

Assessment Of Books Between the Bridge and the River

I have to confess that I did not finish this book. A third of the way in, I realized I sort of hated all the characters and didn't care what happened to them. And it turns out that if you mention bl*w j*bs on every other page, eventually even bl*w j*bs begin to lose their charm. Who knew, right?It was entertaining in parts, but life is too short to read a book you don't love.

A hilarious religious novel. At first I thought it was a collection of short stories because the first three chapters didn't seem to have anything to do with each other, but it turned out that the threads connected along the way. Fraser and George grew up together. Fraser becomes a Televangelist in Scotland. George becomes a Good Guy who gets cancer and realizes that's really pretty much all he is. The other main thread follows Saul and Leon, brothers who grew up in an orphanage, run away and

I feel guilty about this book. I stumped for it pretty hard to be the pick for Cannonball Read's Book Club this month, based on how much I loved Craig Ferguson's memoir, American on Purpose, and his stand up, and his stint on The Late Late Show. (American on Purpose is still the best celebrity memoir I've ever read, FYI.) But, I did not like reading this book. His signature wit and profanity, his cheeky observational skills, things that I love about him, were not put to a purpose here that I

Between the Bridge and the River is one of those books that ten years from now I will remember with a slight smile, contemplating the profundity of life's little moments. I've always thought Ferguson was a great comedian, but he is an even better author. The way that the lives in this book intertwine with others is beautiful. This book with confuse you, it will make you laugh, it will make you laugh, and probably cringe a bit as well. It is an amazing book, one that I happened to pick up by

This book was so disjointed and A.D.D. that I'm amazed I finished it. To say I disliked this book is an understatement. The best part was the period at the end of the last sentence. It may actually be the worst book I've ever read. Normally I'd feel terrible about a review like this but I just can't this time. It sounded like a promising story - It just wasn't.
