Good book about crazy families and how to live with them without throwing yourself into traffic.

Very well told story of a small town. Many well-developed characters.

This book describes life in the small town of Empire Falls, Maine through the lives of its inhabitants as they struggle to survive - both economically and psychologically - in a town that has seen better days. The book won the Pulitzer Prize and was a New York Times Notable Book of the year.

Richard Russo delivers again and again.

I stumbled upon this book and it intrigued me. It consumed me until I finished it. I hope all of Russo's other books are this good.

This was a really great book! One of the best novels I've read in a long time. I was hooked from the first page and wanted to keep reading. It's a story about a small town in Maine, and the relationships between the people who live there. All the characters are very well developed, and the story line is captivating. I couldn't wait to see how it all turned out. There is something for everyone in this novel: humor, suspense, romance...

There's definitely a reason why this book won the Pulitzer prize!

This was the first book I read by Richard Russo, and now I want more.
