White Apples is another strong outing from Jonathan Carroll. Although I prefer his novels when they explore the relationships between the characters more deeply, this novel flows well from beginning to end (it is better constructed than The Wooden Sea). Although the ending feels tacked-on to some degree, it is satisfying enough.

At this point, now that I've read all of Carroll's books that are in print in the United States, I don't think I'll go out of my way to get copies of his other books. The six that I've read so far have given me a pretty firm picture of his writing, and although I'm sure that I'd enjoy reading his other books, I don't think they would offer me anything new.
