A Calling for Charlie Barnes Customer Reviews
:- 5.0 out of 5 stars from g3 from the UP -- Fascinating Tale Told by a Variety of Narrators : Rarely do I want to re-read a novel once I’ve finished, but this one is a web of conflicting memories by a family full of unreliable narrators, and I just had to start reading from the beginning again after the last page. If this makes it sound like the book is a difficult read, be assured that it isn’t. It just deftly tells the tale of Charlie Barnes, who he was and aspired to be, through his eyes and those of his wives and kids, each of whom see, remember, and interpret things differently. I have since read reviews and listened to an author presentation where the reviewers and interviewers gave too much away, so I recommend avoiding the same until you read the book. The construction of the narrative is brilliant and the family relatable in many ways. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Susan Bass -- Brilliant : Kurt Vonnegut said “We are who we pretend to be, so we must be careful about who we pretend to be.” In this masterpiece by Joshua Ferris Charley Barnes careens through his colorful life to death through the lens of son Jake’s recollections. Yes, the son is named Jake Barnes, famous Hemingway protagonist. This was an immensely satisfying read because it reinforced the power of narrative to ennoble us all.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Sean Doyle -- Another excellent book : by Mr. Ferris. I truly enjoyed the little devices and twists he used to take us along the journey. I like the unconventional nature and style of his writing. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- Wow! : I loved the play between fact and fiction,the way that we see and live our lives from an aspect special only to the observer. Whose version is true? ( Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2021 )
- from Eric Schenk -- VINE VOICE : The continuing search for reality ( 5.0 out of 5 stars )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Karen H. Goodwin -- Joshua Ferris Continues to Amaze Me : Joshua Ferris writes with biting wit while humanizing the characters he's satirizing. It took me a while to figure out what he was doing with this novel, but once I did, I was all in. He's writing so well about universal truths that we'd all be better for if we accepted them. Your truth is not always someone else's truth, and the truth is a pretty gray area especially when it comes to how families view their histories. Ferris often makes me laugh-out-loud, sometimes he makes me sad for the human condition, but this is the first time he's made me cry in the best way ever. If you're in one of those crazy families where everybody doesn't get along, doesn't see eye-to-eye on every topic, and isn't always perfect, you'll get a lot out of this book. Well done Mr. Ferris. This one is a home run. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2021 )
- from gammyjill -- TOP 500 REVIEWER : Old Charlie… ( 5.0 out of 5 stars )
- 2.0 out of 5 stars from Donny Rock -- What a mixed-up life. : The story of a man beset by life, his lies, dreams and cons. I found this an unrewarding read, all the time unsure of whom was the narrator at any one time. The sudden jumps from past to present and back again just left me confused. I couldn't recommend this to anyone. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2021 )
