James Collopy: Ragged Company is required reading in the attempt to understand the causes and effects of homelessness. We are all brothers and sisters. Family.

mfs: very well written - love the prose. Also I am enlightened by the people who live day to day with their resourcefulness and living day to day. The female character is very strong, compassionate and so wise.

deanna drew: This remarkable book opened my eyes to what survival is like on the street, how it happened, and what gives it heart and soul and connectivity. It's lovingly doused with shades of First nation and other philosophy and written by someone who lived on the street himself and become a beloved and famous Canadian author.

Amazon Customer: Wonderful book from brilliant writer Richard Wagamese. His description of the characters that are homeless is very poignant and touching. This is a problem that is becoming very prevalent and this book helps understanding why such a problem exists in our society. I highly recommend this book and all his other books as well.

Lucy A Montecino: At first, reading this book, i was annoying that the writer told the story from the viewpoints of the different characters, but the characters didn't have unique voices. The prose seemed uniform, like a straight third person narrative with different character's name fronting each chapter. At first I waited for the writer to try harder to give them their own vocabularies, slang and dialect, but after a while I realized that having each character tell part of the story was a tool not to reveal an individual, but a way to show how each one of them saw each other and viewed the rest of the group and the way they reacted to each other. Finally, I stopped waiting for the sincere, straightforward writing to turn more stylish, because I was too taken with the details of life stories of the persons in the story, too engaged in the dynamics of this group of friends, too anxious to find out if their friendship would be strong enough to keep them together.
