review 1: I am not usually one to quit on books mid-read, but, honestly, I couldn't make it through this one. It did not hold interest and was extremely one-sided. Perhaps I missed an amazing ending, but, in my opinion, it wasn't worth the annoyance of self righteousness and poor writing to get there. I hope the man and his father eventually found peace with each other, but, more importantly, with themselves.
review 2: I wanted so badly to like this. Someone that I respect said it was her favourite book so I was sure it would move me too. No such thing. I found the author unlikeable and whiny. He cries a lot. The family is messy and sort of charming so...that's kind of nice. There wasn't enough story for me but maybe that has something to do with the fact that I finis... morehed "The Night of the Gun" two days before. Actually, just read that one instead. less
