penny p gave it a10: the characters are instantly belevable. The outher leads us to care about questions we have never asked before.
Joan gave it a9: A beautifully written, always intriguing, thoughtful and close observation of a variety of characters, animals, and places, seen from the inside. The plot takes its time as the novelist connects characters, animals, and place, weaving together the natural, spiritual, and supernatural.
Paul D gave it a9: Strange, very well written and closely observed mixture of the quotidian and the ethereal.
Jim H gave it a9: There's a cumulative effect to Davis' stripped down, inverted narrative style that will bear fruit for the patient reader. She does not tell a tale so much as swoop in and out of parts of her own jigsawed landscapes-- to tell you about a spider preparing a web, the deepest secrets a character is carrying or a thing that happened here a hundred years ago that may or may not be relevant to the puzzle. Put the pieces all together and it is definitely something you have never seen before. It's as mystical, sensuous, impertinent, as terribly odd and fully worthwhile as dreams, daydreams and life. True lovers of reading, essayez-le!
debby r gave it a7: quirky, challenging
Robbo the Yobbo gave it an8: This is the first work of Davis I've read. She's skillful, and I'll be interested to look into her earlier work. I think this book needs some time to settle with the reader - I might give it a "9" next month. I was disappointed slightly by what I thought was a rushed denouement. The characterizations were the work of a master writer, however.
Joe G gave it a10: a masterpiece
Dara G gave it a10: A slow, unique, philosophical, and dreamlike read in which one is able to inhabit many characters, including animals. There is no doubt in my mind that The Thin Place will be the best book of 2006.
