This book was, well, just fine. Have you ever been all primped up to go somewhere and ask your significant other how you look? If they say "fine," don't you freak out cuz that really says nothing? That's what I mean when I say this book was "fine." It's not that I don't like long books - I've read tons of them that I liked and loved. I just found myself hurrying through the book - not because I couldn't put it down - I just wanted to get to something important. The last 1/4 of the book is really great, but do yourself a favor and read Empire Falls, the Pulitzer Prize Winner by Russo. It's such a great book, and this book seemed more like a chore I had to finish.
