Industry Reviews
"The mastery of urban melodrama that Price demonstrated in literate blockbusters like CLOCKERS and FREEDOMLAND keeps growing and deepening....Magnificent stuff."
Kirkus Reviews (11/01/2002)

"Price portrays Mitchell's anxious desire to connect with dead-on, heartbreaking accuracy...."
Bookforum - Kera Bolonik

"SAMARITAN is a perplexing read, especially for those who, like me, consider Richard Price a major talent. The Dempsiads, for all their strength, are losing steam."
New York Times Book Review - Mark Costello (01/05/2003)

"...Price yields up not just the familiar, blanched moonscape of urban blight but the inner lives and jack-hammering hearts of those who pace and patrol it."
New Yorker (01/20/2003)
