review 1: I really enjoyed this debut novel. It is not very often you get to read a story about male friendships and the impact they have on each other. The characters are well-developed, their interplay is realistic and the story flows well. The characters are distinct enough from one another that it is easy to keep track of each one. There are no good or bad characters, just flawed human beings who possess good and bad traits. I would like to be friends with these guys and hated to part ways as the book ended. Looking forward to more from this author. I would recommend this to both men and women! I think we can all see a little of ourselves in these characters.
review 2: I picked this up, hoping it would be a sweet, sentimental tale about about the Midwest; remin... moreiscent of say, "Dairy Queen Days" which I adored. But at best, this book turned out to be maudlin, syrupy and a bit hackneyed for my taste. It's a predictable "bromance" tale about four friends: Henry (who stays behind to raise a family); Lee (becomes a big shot musician, and marries the wrong woman, a famous actress); Kip, a hotshot businessman; and Ronny, an alcoholic rodeo player, who finds love with Lucy, a stripper) who all take turns shifting voices to talk about where they have gone in their lives, and where and if love has gone wrong for them. Right in the middle of this is Beth, Henry's wife, who had an affair with Lee years ago; causing a rift between the two buddies. Overall, I feel that this book would make a better movie starring some of today's hottest 30something talent; but was shamelessly hokey; which could have been unintentional. less
