I'm pretty sure I read one of Clifford Irving's novels many, many years ago, although for the life of me I don't recall which one. Then, when he got embroiled in the great hoax - writing a fake autobiography of the reclusive Howard Hughes - I pretty much lost interest in the guy. Even after doing jail time, though, he never stopped writing - and from what information I can glean, he's always been pretty darned good at the craft.As I've noted in many reviews, I belong to a number of websites that offer free and low-cost books in Kindle format. Not too long ago, I found this book, described as a "legal thriller," on sale for 99 cents (as we speak, it's going for $2.99 at Amazon). The plot sounded interesting, so I threw caution to the wind and blew my dollar on it. And what do you know? I really enjoyed reading it.To be sure, I'd call it weird; while it describes the life of a man and woman in love - and includes a trial in which the man, an attorney, defends the woman's elderly parents in a court of law - the whole thing is woven around a place that could be likened to a communal Fountain of Youth. Set not in Florida but high in the mountains of Colorado near Aspen, the tiny town of Springhill fiercely protects a big secret: a water source that, apparently, allows them to live almost unlimited years while retaining their youthful appearance and mental and physical strengths. Along the way, their solidarity has been augmented by the passing down of a special language ("harping," for instance, means seriously discussing issues among themselves with the intent of persuading one to a different point of view).Cool so far? Well, hear this: The townspeople's ruling committee agreed at the outset that 100 years is the limit; any person who reaches that milestone must agree to die voluntarily. Death is accomplished humanely (the ethics of euthanasia and assisted suicide aside), and all the denizens are okay with that simply because they get to live far longer than most humans and in much better shape. Everything, it seems, has remained true to plan for generations; but let's be honest: had it remained so, this book wouldn't exist.What happened is that Sophie Henderson, one of the townspeople and a committee member, met and fell in love with Manhattan attorney Dennis Conway, who visited Aspen to ski. Dennis, who has two young children and no wife, pulls up his New York stakes, packs up the kids and moves to Springhill to be with his love. Then, a local couple and friends of Sophie's parents are found dead, and her parents are accused of helping them commit suicide. Whether right or wrong from a moral standpoint, such assistance is against the law (this book was published in 1996, BTW) and the region's law enforcement insists that they be brought to trial. Dennis, believing them to be innocent, agrees to represent Sophie's mother, "Bitsy"; her father, Scott, himself an attorney, insists on representing himself.From this point on, my lips are sealed; suffice it to say it was hard for me to put this one down (I even kept one eye on my Kindle while I was watching the NCAA basketball tournament. I'm thankful that I managed to finish it before the Final Four games, when two of my favorite teams - Kentucky and Duke - will take to the court against other teams and hopefully face off in the championship game.
Two thirds good, last third a whimpering let-down. Too many spoilers to explain the substance of this Ci story, but suffice to say most readers would feel horribly let down by an end phase that made no sense or logic. Personally l think Dennis should have fallen off the mountain, the artist (who forgot his paintings behind!!!!!) should have had his heart attack and the town left alone. Clifford Irving wrote some of the most amazing court room dramas...pity he thought he could write out-and-out fantasy.
I want to like Clifford Irving's books. I loved "The Angel of Zin" and I'm waiting to love another one. This wasn't it. The plot is implausible. The end is not as suspensful as it was intended to be. The characters are not entertaining or likeable, and I can forgive a poor plot if the characters are great, but no. They are pretty much plot devices, a sort of exercise in "Hey, what if...?" and never really convincing as actual people. This reads like a rough draft to me. "Punch it up," I want to say. "Make me care about somebody." The ending is supposed to be moving, I think, but I cannot get excited about the fate of plot device people. The blurb said book clubs will love it because it opens a dialogue about euthanasia, or something like that. It doesn't. It might open a discussion about the perils of eternal life, but I doubt it. And the discussion wouldn't last long anyway.
This book has an interesting premise about a community that will do anything to protect their secret, but I felt like the main conflict(the trial) was not out together with very strong logic, and the end was a bit too tidy.It was a fun read but not the best I've read. The book also needed a bit more care by the editor, as it has several typos and formatting errors.
This book should be rated under the genre of fantasy as the main plot is somewhat unbelievable. It's really misleading to rate this as a legal thriller since only a small part is spent in the courtroom defending two of the characters. There are parts of the book that are unnecessary to the development of the plot such as the "mystery language". There are also parts that are "left up in the air" without explanation or seem unrealistic. Without giving anything away, what is "allowed" in the ending is quite unbelieveable - it doesn't match up with what has been disallowed in the rest of the book.
This was a great book. The punctuation and sentence structures were awful. One paragraph would have you in a blizzard, the very next in a courtroom...it was confusing. New chapters needed to be started to avoid confusion. I'm guessing that was from the book being converted to the kindle version. After all these years you would think they would have that figured out.
I loved Irving's "Final Arguement" and "Trial" and figured this would be more of the same. I'm not sure what genre this book was supposed to be. It didn't work as a murder mystery and for the Sci-fi/occult theme it was even less believable. All of the characters fit into molds that were too perfect and hence, unbelievable. It even had overtures of a romance novel. I read it until the end waiting for something to tie everything together but nothing did. Waste of time and money.
The book kept my interest all the way through; it was never boring. This was my first Clifford Irving book, and I enjoyed his writing enough to keep any eye out for more of his work. I was transported into the Maroon Bells wilderness, with which I'm acquainted. The trial sequences were authentic, and not embarrassing from a trial lawyer's perspective, unlike most trial scenes in current legal shows on television. My wife and I very much enjoyed reading the book aloud to each other. It was a page turner: once the tension in the story rose, we read many chapters in a sitting. I'd recommend the book to anyone who enjoys immersion in a legally oriented mystery.
