The Feast of Love
Author: Charles Baxter

This was a lovely book to savour -- the chapters are short enough to read quickly and then go off and do something else if necessary.

I started this earlier this week and grabbed a few minutes here to read and loved how each chapter unfolded, giving the reader more insight into the cast of characters in this book. I particularly enjoyed Chloe and Oscar's story. This book is full of ups and downs and captures life and love so well.

Another book where each chapter is told by someone else in the first person. Trying to figure out which character is speaking can be a chore. The central character seems to be Bradley. All the other characters all seem to have some tie to him. I understood the book a little because there was a movie based on this book, I am not that interested in reading anything else by him.

This is a good book with quirky characters and a contemporary sense of what a community is. Baxter has a good sense of humor, too. I enjoyed the book.
