Judge About Books A Fine and Private Place

A lonely man lives in a New York cemetery is accompanied by two ghosts and a talking raven. Along the way he learns about life and love. The story is humorous and touching without being overly sentimental. Peter Beagle's simple and straightforward prose makes the story quick and easy to read, yet unforgettable.

One of the most beautiful books I've ever read! It has a way of being fantasy and literature all at the same time. The characters are few and carefully drawn. You know them; they're real to you; you become part of this little group that lives in the cemetery and contemplates, in death, what should have been answered while living, except we were too busy to think of it. It has that feel. I look forward to returning to this book. It strikes me as one of those works that changes significantly as

Hm... I love Peter S. Beagle's style. I love his ideas and I love the way he puts words together. Logically, I should love everything he writes, right? Well, apparently I don't.When I started reading A Fine and Private Place, the back cover (which is the summary above) and the first chapter or so really pulled me in. But then it slowed down and stayed slow. Hopelessly slow. It took me forever to read because I'd curl up with it and there was nothing to keep me awake. In 260-something pages,

Parts of this book reminded me of Audrey Niffenegger's Her Fearful Symmetry, but it's better. I love a good story of this type that's not scary and this one is almost perfect.

This is a contemplative book about life, love, and death that follows the interactions between people, ghosts, and a talking raven in a cemetery. I have rather mixed feelings about this book. There is a whole lot of introspective dialogue going on, particularly in the conversations between two ghosts who contemplate who they were when they were living and what it all means to them now that they are dead. It gets very annoying at times, yet some things hit me on such a personal level that I would

I first read A Fine and Private Place in 1970. It was my first introduction to the work of Peter S. Beagle. I was 18 years old. That I can still recall the opening scene so clearly is an indication that this book was a unique experience for me as a reader. I immediately followed this book by reading The Last Unicorn. A Fine and Private Place is a contemporary 'ghost' story set in a cemetary, and The Last Unicorn is a lovely fantasy set in an alternate world. I recommend both of them without

Considering that Beagle was only nineteen years old when he wrote this book, as well as how powerfully it handles the themes of life and death, A Fine & Private Place really is incredible in so many ways. Predating other books about the afterlife such as The Lovely Bones or If I Stay, A Fine & Private Place is a bit less contemporary, but it portrays ghosts as nothing to be scared of, something welcome in a world where ghosts are often used as evil props in horror novels.
