Summary

New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke brings readers a captivating tale of justice， love， brutality， and mysticism set in the turbulent 1960s。

The American West in the early 1960s appears to be a pastoral paradise: golden wheat fields， mist-filled canyons， frolicking animals。 Aspiring novelist Aaron Holland Broussard has observed it from the open door of a boxcar， riding the rails for both inspiration and odd jobs。

Jumping off in Denver， he finds work on a farm and meets Joanne McDuffy， an articulate and fierce college student and gifted painter。 Their soul connection is immediate， but their romance is complicated by Joanne’s involvement with a shady professor who is mixed up with a drug-addled cult。 When a sinister businessman and his son who wield their influence through vicious cruelty set their sights on Aaron， drawing him into an investigation of grotesque murders， it is clear that this idyllic landscape harbors tremendous power—and evil。 Followed by a mysterious shrouded figure who might not be human， Aaron will have to face down all these foes to save the life of the woman he loves and his own。

The latest installment in James Lee Burke’s masterful Holland family saga， Another Kind of Eden is both riveting and one of Burke’s most ambitious works to date。 It dismantles the myths of both the twentieth-century American West and the peace-and-love decade， excavating the beauty and idealism of the era to show the menace and chaos that lay simmering just beneath the surface。

ANOTHER KIND OF EDEN is a new addition to the Holland family saga that author James Lee Burke has been writing about for years。 The book follows the protagonist， Aaron Holland Broussard， as he faces villains in a small Colorado town。 Burke’s writing is amazing and his ability to create place， atmosphere and characters’ philosophical orientation is unparalleled。 My difficulty with this third book hinges on the similarity of plot to the two previous books。 A stalwart， ethical man， upon casually me ANOTHER KIND OF EDEN is a new addition to the Holland family saga that author James Lee Burke has been writing about for years。 The book follows the protagonist， Aaron Holland Broussard， as he faces villains in a small Colorado town。 Burke’s writing is amazing and his ability to create place， atmosphere and characters’ philosophical orientation is unparalleled。 My difficulty with this third book hinges on the similarity of plot to the two previous books。 A stalwart， ethical man， upon casually meeting a woman， decides she is the answer to all of his needs and while attempting to win her， annoys villains in the community。 His relationship with the woman prompts him to engage in rescue fantasies with varying results。 Basically， these are: a hero slays a dragon and hopes to win the princess。 I loved it in the first book， WAYFARING STRANGER， I struggled with it in THE JEALOUS KIND， and by this book， I lost interest。 I think WAYFARING STRANGER is the best but ANOTHER KIND OF EDEN works if read as a stand alone。 Although if this plot appeals， all of the books explore it。 I received my copy from the publisher through NetGalley。 。。。more

Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read this: The latest from the prolific James Lee Burke， his novels are allegories of good but flawed men who are put into the path of evil and attempt to adhere to their codes of honor， with the assist of good but flawed women。 Beautifully written and mystical， sometimes a bit hard to follow， this is the tale of a farm hand/author who clashes with drug dealers， small town police and his employers。 His protagonist attempts to adhere to his code of honor in Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read this: The latest from the prolific James Lee Burke， his novels are allegories of good but flawed men who are put into the path of evil and attempt to adhere to their codes of honor， with the assist of good but flawed women。 Beautifully written and mystical， sometimes a bit hard to follow， this is the tale of a farm hand/author who clashes with drug dealers， small town police and his employers。 His protagonist attempts to adhere to his code of honor in a deeply flawed world。 Mysticism and religious references abound。 Over time， his books have morphed from mysteries/police procedurals to explorations of morality。 The title reflects the theme of fall from grace， with intrinsic goodness vs。 evil。 。。。more

I have never read anything by this author before but I received an advanced readers copy from a friend who owns a bookstore and just doesn’t have time to read all of the books that are sent to her。 She wanted my opinion as to whether she should stock this in her shop。 My initial response would be absolutely not。 This is one of the worst books I’ve ever read。 I’m not sure where all of the high praises are coming from。 Someone mentioned how skilled he was with imagery ， I’m not sure about that but I have never read anything by this author before but I received an advanced readers copy from a friend who owns a bookstore and just doesn’t have time to read all of the books that are sent to her。 She wanted my opinion as to whether she should stock this in her shop。 My initial response would be absolutely not。 This is one of the worst books I’ve ever read。 I’m not sure where all of the high praises are coming from。 Someone mentioned how skilled he was with imagery ， I’m not sure about that but he did seem to put forth more effort to describe the colors of the sky eloquently than he put into the rest of the book。 In my opinion， this book suffers from a severe case of A。D。D。 and under-editing。 The story itself had potential but it was so laden with cheesy lines， pointless information and a lack of focus that the story was lost。 It wasn’t believable， it didn’t make sense often， and I couldn’t connect with any of it。 I didn’t believe that he and the waitress were in love because it just didn’t feel real。 There were so many side stories about murders and natives， and his bosses wife trying to seduce him that it was completely scattered and just missed the mark。 Again， my initial reaction is to tell her not to waste precious space on this book， however， a bookstore’s goal is to sell books and based on the reviews for this book and his many others， for some reason， people seem to like him。 。。。more

There are more forms of evil among humans than Aaron Holland Broussard can count， and he seems to stumble into and over most of them in this 1960s novel of pain and crime in the outwardly peaceful environment of southern Colorado。 Broussard wants to be a novelist and finds a lot of material in his travels west on a boxcar。 In Colorado， he discovers misery and love and a hint of the mystical as he works on a farm， and that， combined with his mental/emotional state， lead him into dangerous situati There are more forms of evil among humans than Aaron Holland Broussard can count， and he seems to stumble into and over most of them in this 1960s novel of pain and crime in the outwardly peaceful environment of southern Colorado。 Broussard wants to be a novelist and finds a lot of material in his travels west on a boxcar。 In Colorado， he discovers misery and love and a hint of the mystical as he works on a farm， and that， combined with his mental/emotional state， lead him into dangerous situations。 The writing is excellent， as one would expect from a Burke novel。 The pacing kept me turning the pages， the characters are mysterious and sometimes scary， and that shadowy character in the background a nice twist。I received a free copy of this novel via Net Galley。 。。。more

Another Kind Of Eden leaves the present day bayou of James Lee Burke's Robicheaux series and heads mid-west to the Holland family series， focusing on the young Aaron Holland-Broussard， circa 1960's。 Traveling from place to place by hopping freight trains and carrying nothing but his guitar and his typewriter， Aaron finds temporary jobs to keep him fed and out of trouble as he writes the next Great American Novel。 But because the author is James Lee Burke， Aaron finds himself in trouble with the Another Kind Of Eden leaves the present day bayou of James Lee Burke's Robicheaux series and heads mid-west to the Holland family series， focusing on the young Aaron Holland-Broussard， circa 1960's。 Traveling from place to place by hopping freight trains and carrying nothing but his guitar and his typewriter， Aaron finds temporary jobs to keep him fed and out of trouble as he writes the next Great American Novel。 But because the author is James Lee Burke， Aaron finds himself in trouble with the law and an enemy of the town bully by the second chapter。An intelligent young man with anger management issues and a hinky past， Aaron still addresses his elders by their respectful title and can't help but fall for the young waitress with her own secrets。 Despite the enmity between Aaron and the town's bully family， his boss and the local detective gravitate towards him， asking for his help and trusting his opinion。 The detective needs Aaron to help him solve the mysterious murders of young women and I'm not really clear as to why he needs Aaron。 Their initial interactions revolve around Aaron's arrest in chapter one so this trust comes with a true stretch of the imagination。 After a lot of over-the-top violence towards the art professor who might actually deserve it， a bumpy relationship with the waitress， and the detective who keeps hounding Aaron， we come to the weirdest ending。 There is absolutely no build up to the last few chapters of Another Kind Of Eden--maybe I missed the foreshadows or lost a chapter or two as this is an advance reader copy--but the answers to pretty much all the previously unasked questions are a head scratcher。 And I don't think there is any closure to the murders that occurred outside of the storyline。The most interesting take away from Another Kind Of Eden （found on the very last page） is the possibility this story might be a true event from the life of James Lee Burke。 A 3 stars for the implausibilities and weird ending， but 4 stars because James Lee Burke can still write a clever sentence with beautiful imagery。 A big thank you and shout out to Edelwiess and the publishers for providing me with a copy of Another Kind Of Eden in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

James Lee Burke is one of the most reliable authors around。 I’ve read all of his Robicheaux novels， but only a couple of the Hollands。The main character here is very similar to Robicheaux in many ways—an old-style righteousness and gallantry contending with a changing society， a tendency to lose control of barely contained violence， and visions of worlds beyond the natural。 The writing is quite good and the story moves more quickly than in recent Robicheaux novels， but the novel takes a very wil James Lee Burke is one of the most reliable authors around。 I’ve read all of his Robicheaux novels， but only a couple of the Hollands。The main character here is very similar to Robicheaux in many ways—an old-style righteousness and gallantry contending with a changing society， a tendency to lose control of barely contained violence， and visions of worlds beyond the natural。 The writing is quite good and the story moves more quickly than in recent Robicheaux novels， but the novel takes a very wild turn， and I would have preferred it had stayed more reality-based。Thanks to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for an early review copy。 。。。more

Another Kind of Eden is the first book I’ve read by the incomparable James Lee Burke that does not feature my favorite anti-hero， Dave Robicheaux。 This book to a significant degree reminded me of my first Robicheaux novel， In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead in 1993。 Since that time I’ve read every installment of the Robicheaux chronicles。 The protagonist in Another Kind of Eden， Aaron Holland Broussard， is a similar in that he experiences nightmares and struggles from wartime horrors。 Fo Another Kind of Eden is the first book I’ve read by the incomparable James Lee Burke that does not feature my favorite anti-hero， Dave Robicheaux。 This book to a significant degree reminded me of my first Robicheaux novel， In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead in 1993。 Since that time I’ve read every installment of the Robicheaux chronicles。 The protagonist in Another Kind of Eden， Aaron Holland Broussard， is a similar in that he experiences nightmares and struggles from wartime horrors。 For Broussard， it is Korea。 Despite the psychological demons， Broussard， like Robicheaux， defends those who cannot defend themselves and seeks to rid the world of evildoers that he encounters。 James Lee Burke writes lyrically with a poetic beauty that belies the cruelty of his less than honorable characters， which all feel three dimensional。 None of the characters in Another Kind of Eden are cardboard cutouts。 The elements of mysticism feel right in the novel。 It is abundantly evident that JLB， at the age of 84， continues to write at the top of his game。 I remain grateful that this author has consistently fed my appetite for great fiction for 27 years。 A huge thanks to Netgalley and publisher Simon & Schuster for the opportunity to read an advance copy of Another Kind of Eden in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Unlike the Dave Robicheaux novels， those comprising the Holland family saga， like this one， can be read as standalones。 Of course， connection to the earlier Holland installments would be better， but I read them so long ago， that in reading this one， which only makes glancing reference to the Hollands， memories are sparse。 Here is we are in the early 1960's meeting Aaron Holland Broussard， leaping off a freight in Colorado as he waits news from his publisher about publication of his novel。 There Unlike the Dave Robicheaux novels， those comprising the Holland family saga， like this one， can be read as standalones。 Of course， connection to the earlier Holland installments would be better， but I read them so long ago， that in reading this one， which only makes glancing reference to the Hollands， memories are sparse。 Here is we are in the early 1960's meeting Aaron Holland Broussard， leaping off a freight in Colorado as he waits news from his publisher about publication of his novel。 There is almost immediate romance with JoAnne McDuffy， and connection with several of his coworkers on the farm of a prosperous rancher。 Burke's voice in writing these novels is completely different from that of which he employs in the Robicheaux Louisiana series， which really should be read in order since the sequence is important。 The only problem I had with this page turner is the question of whether Broussard has visions due to his personality disorder， or is there magical realism afoot。 The literary quality of the writing is， as always， first rate。 。。。more

I'll read anything James Lee Burke writes。Another Kind of Eden is set in the 1960s when drug cults weren't all that unusual in some places。 Aaron Holland Broussard is an aspiring novelist who finds work on a farm， meets and falls in love with painter/waitress/student Joanne， and meets some really nasty characters。 I'm always more partial to Burke's stories set in Louisiana， but Another Kind of Eden is equally full of Burke's trademark atmospheric prose， complex characters， and tangled plot。 Aaro I'll read anything James Lee Burke writes。Another Kind of Eden is set in the 1960s when drug cults weren't all that unusual in some places。 Aaron Holland Broussard is an aspiring novelist who finds work on a farm， meets and falls in love with painter/waitress/student Joanne， and meets some really nasty characters。 I'm always more partial to Burke's stories set in Louisiana， but Another Kind of Eden is equally full of Burke's trademark atmospheric prose， complex characters， and tangled plot。 Aaron Broussard could almost be Dave Robicheaux without the badge。 Almost， but not quite。 You always have to dig a little deeper with Burke's novels; they are seldom all that they seem on the surface。 He forces us to examine all aspects of human nature， however uncomfortable it may sometimes be。This novel is classic James Lee Burke who remains at the top of his game。 Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC。 。。。more

Ive read all of Burke’s books and I loved this one。 Economical/spare/ well written/violent /exciting and thoughtful -Burke has never been better。 This book is set in the early sixties in the west and it explores the coming drug culture and the seismic shift that was about to happen in American culture。 It’s a really good story。 Highly recommended

In "Another Kind of Eden，" Burke offers us a tale of the sun-drenched west that offers few answers to the question of what the distance is between Heaven and Hell， and between madness and sanity。 Wrapped in poetic imagery， we get a tale about a drifter riding the rails to Trinidad， Colorado， in 1962， trying to loose a past that just keeps creeping up on him through holes in his memory。 Like Biblical thunder， good and evil are mixed together in this small ranching town where a bully seems to rule In "Another Kind of Eden，" Burke offers us a tale of the sun-drenched west that offers few answers to the question of what the distance is between Heaven and Hell， and between madness and sanity。 Wrapped in poetic imagery， we get a tale about a drifter riding the rails to Trinidad， Colorado， in 1962， trying to loose a past that just keeps creeping up on him through holes in his memory。 Like Biblical thunder， good and evil are mixed together in this small ranching town where a bully seems to rule with an iron fist。 No matter where Broussard travels though， he bears his heavy burdens with him。 For him， there's no peace nowhere， not in his head， not in his hands， not in his thoughts。 Not even the love of a good woman， JoAnne， can lighten his load。 The war in Korea is just as real and now as it ever was。 A parallel exists in the schoolbus with the hippies， stoned and crazy， but halfway between Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters and Manson's tribe。 No one here can shake off their pasts。 No one walks free and easy and we all have to bear our burdens ultimately alone。 For JoAnne， it's perhaps her father whisked awY in a tornado and never seen again。 For others， it's their deeds or what their family members did that they can't wash their hands of。 Burke's work is honestly quite amazing and this one grips you and doesn't let go， although reality and madness sometimes mix here in quite strange ways。 A stranger coming into a small town and turning it upside down is not a new idea， but this story takes it to quite a different level， indeed。 。。。more
