Critics Review
Mat Johnson author of “Drop” Intelligent, deft, gripping, “Child of God” is a page-turner that is as rewarding as it is entertaining, as fun as it is fulfilling. Lolita Files not only gives the readers what we want, but what we didn’t even realize we needed. With “Child of God, ” Lolita Files is at her best, showing us not only why she has become one of the most popular writers of our day, but why she’ll be remembered long into tomorrow. “Child of God” is a bold and fully realized accomplishment, but even better, it’s a damn good read.
Susan Straight author of “I Been in Sorrow’s Kitchen” and “Licked Out All the Pots” Lolita Files has created a rich, darkly fascinating world of love and betrayal, and I was compelled to finish the novel and learn the family’s ultimate fate. Lolita steps into new territory with this one.
