review 1: As someone who lives in the town Scribner is writing about, I was beyond pleased to recognize some of the spots he talks about in his book. Beyond that, however, I thought his style, tone and word choice were appropriate for the setting, and the storyline was fascinating. I did grow to dislike most of the characters - which I'm fine with. If a writer makes me feel strongly any one way about characters in his/her book, they are doing something right.
review 2: I struggled to get through this book. About 1/3 through, I was depressed. A crumbling marriage, a job in jeopardy, anarchists running amok.... I questioned my ability to read a book without a guaranteed happy ending. So, for my own sanity (and for this not to be the third book in a row I stopped readi
... moreng because I was 'sad') I persevered. I finished. I enjoyed the last third immensely. I'm glad I finished this book; the characters are now happily cavorting in my imagination, and all is well with the world. And also, everything smells differently now. less

This is the best book I've read in awhile. Amazing character development and such rich language.

I found this book to have an interesting premise but it confused me.
