review 1: I hate to say it, but this book almost seemed like a waste of time. It took almost half of the book for me to get into the story and before that, I was reading because I wanted to finish what I started. Then once the story got interesting, (a third of the way through) it was one more short chapter and then it was over. Right when it got interesting, it was the end. And the end was not good at all, it almost pissed me off a little. I don't recommend this book, but a lot of other people seem to like it. I will not be reading it again.
review 2: It started out so promising. A father tries to connect with his daughter prior to her getting married. Somehow, his job as a bank exec keeps interfering with that- even on the wedding day when the bank where he works
... moreis robbed. He rushes to the bank, despite his ex-wife's pleas to ignore it because= hey, dude, it's your daughter's wedding day!!!! It goes awry, into different and odd directions. Ultimately, it seems to end up as a treatise on middle aged men going through a crisis, nevermind the fact that his daughter seems to be very unhappy. It doesn't end too badly, but it just seemed like a forced ending. less

Good book. Great dialogue. Anti climactic but deeply personal and interesting.

Touching, sometimes startling. Always affecting.
