Reviews
"Among the most remarkable fiction debuts in recent years…[The Emperor of Ocean Park] is full of musing about God, family, chess, the politics of Supreme Court appointments, loyalty, unhappy marriage, the media, depression, race, and academic infighting…[Carter] is a scholar and a lawyerly commentator who has penned a rip-roaring entertainment." Boston Globe "The year's hottest summer read and a surefire bestseller…Carter does for members of the contemporary black upper-class what Henry James did for Washington Square society, taking us into their drawing rooms and laying their motives bare…However The Emperor of Ocean Park is categorized, beach reading doesn't get any better than this." Time Out New York "The Emperor of Ocean Park is a delightful, sprawling, gracefully written, imaginative work, with sharply delineated characters who dwell in a fully realized narrative world…Carter deserves comparison with such successful practitioners of the crime novel as Scott Turow." The New York Review of Books "The Emperor of Ocean Park is an intricately plotted work…a novel that is both thriller and commentary on American racial relations." Dan Cryer, Newsday "[A] complex literary thriller. Carter deftly weaves together several strands, from the relationships of father and sons and husbands and wives to the politics of the Nixon and Reagan eras." Bookpage "The Emperor of Ocean Park is no ordinary fiction debut…Carter has produced a thoroughly original mystery-thriller…that also explores the brave terrains of race, family, power, paranoia, and the law…If I may join the hype, The Emperor of Ocean Park rules." Book Street USA "[A] fiercely intelligent and original work…Carter explores an astounding variety of subjects with the depth and delicacy." The Miami Herald "[The Emperor of Ocean Park] is one of the hottest items of the summer, one of the most discussed books of the year. It provides insight into the world of the African-American haute bourgeoisie…and does so with a sophistication and elegance of language that makes much of it a joy to read." The Globe and Mail "Yes, this combination mystery/social commentary/thoughtful introspection is long. But the characters are masterfully developed, and its gripping story, elegant writing and skillful illumination of a segment of society that has been notably absent from popular fiction more than justify its 657 pages. The Emperor of Ocean Park is an outstanding work of fiction worth every penny…If you read only one book this summer, make sure it's this one." The Sunday Star-Ledger "Stephen L. Carter's debut novel, "The Emperor of Ocean Park," is a marvel: a deeply satisfying thriller that is as careful with character as it is with conspiracy…This is an exhilarating summer read that will be remembered long after the season is over." Contra Costa Times "Poised to become the biggest book of the summer." Entertainment Weekly "This reader hasn't inhaled a novel so rich, rewarding and compelling since Tom Wolfe's A Man in Full. Like Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent it transports the reader into a different world and creates characters that resonate long after you finish it…The mystery aspects had me reading the book at stop signs while driving."

  • a really good mystery read

    this was a good plot with lots of twists and turns and was exactly what a great mystery novel should be... with the exception of the continuous ranting and soliloquizing of the main character as a member of "the darker nation" and each interaction was over analyzed on the basis of how he (the main character, which was obviously the author's views) was treated by other characters (professors at the university level), which i found boring and totally annoying. if you cut those sections of the book, which was every three or four pages at least, you would have cut a third of the book. it wasn't necessary to the plot at all. it was aggravating. i did finish the book though because i had to know how it ended. i just skipped the passages that didn't have anything to do with the story.

  • Intelligent, wonderful mystery story

    I picked this up purely by accident as I was making a sweep of my local library for a few books to read over vacation. This turned out to be the star of the bunch, and one of the best books I had read in a long time. It is a mystery set in a fictional college/college town, which is clearly very close to New Haven and Yale Law School. Essentially an academic is trying to solve a puzzle left after the death of his father. Top recommendation.

  • Kingdom Comments

    I recently read this book at my daughter's recommendation. Incredibly well written: wonderful imagery, interesting insights, great plot. I bought this to give as a gift to my younger daughter and I know she will love it. I am anxious to read more by this author
