"In John Keeble's extraordinary novel, Broken Ground, a social fable for our time, every element has its double in the illuminating realm of metaphor. . . . No other serious American novel has confronted so directly and so eerily the slithery power of corporate dominance over humble lives as well as over our changing, dehumanized landscape."
- Lynne Sharon Schwartz (Hungry Mind Review) "Broken Ground rumbles with metaphor, and the book seems to propel itself toward revelations about our individual, collective, and national spirit."
- Tim Nolan (New York Times Book Review) "Thoughtful reading that will entertain as it enlightens, Broken Ground is quite the read, very highly recommended."
(Wisconsin Bookwatch) "It's a great Northwest novel, prescient in its themes and sharp in its execution."
(The Oregonian)
