Review: So many things going on in this book
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 22, 2014
I rated it five stars more from a casual reading perspective than to indicate it compares to Hemingway, Irving or Joyce. However, it's not that far out of the realm of literary classics. The characters are rich, rounded and their desires and motivations drive the story. The prose is wonderfully straight-forward but descriptive where it feels right. This book is not what I would call a can't-put-down story, because there was so much going on, so much to think about, that taking a break for a day or two felt necessary. Overall, a wonderful book and my first five star rating in many months.
