Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A timeless story of love and redemption, a classic tale of good vs. evil, and a can’t-miss page-turner that leaves readers wanting more.” —ForeWord magazine
“A fascinating story of success in spite of chaos, opportunity in spite of despair, and love in spite of hate.” —Booklist
“Bill Cobb’s The Bird Saviors is a stark modern-day Old Testament story in which the evil that men do is barely balanced by the good that a few manage to achieve. It’s a gritty harrowing story set in a dust-blown Colorado town that seems filled with vivid characters. Cobb’s expert storytelling compels us forward scene by scene to a final satisfying redemption.” —Kent Haruf, New York Times bestselling author
“A novel told with an unexpected and appealing warmth; the characters in The Bird Saviors become increasingly memorable, page by page, and the story pulled me in without hullabaloo or fuss—this is good, confident storytelling.” —Aimee Bender, New York Times bestselling author
