I really enjoyed this book. I grew up in Buffalo and have lived about twenty minutes outside of it for almost 2o years. If you are from Buffalo, every page gives you soemthing where you go, "I know exactly what he is talking about."

Even if you are not from Buffalo, the book is a good read. Not something that I would normally pick up to be honest. But I am glad that I did.

Sucked me in right away. This is a different sort of read than i generally pick up, but i am happy i found it. The son, talks his mom out of suiside after she finds out she has alzheimers and believes the way she has to live as the illness progresses is his fault. it's a novel about love and life and Buffalo. It is funny and sad and endearing. I liked this novel alot.
