  "I LOVED this book!" by dmc1230 (see profile) 08/11/09

Richard Russo is one of my favorite authors and I think this may be the book I like best. It's funny and dry and witty and charming. His characters are often well meaning, down on their luck, hard drinking guys but they always have a great deal of charm. (Paul Newman often played the main characters in the movies). Russo is a master at characterization. I think this novel was brilliant!

 
  "Well written and humorous" by wirtzv (see profile) 10/12/09

Russo is an incredible writer who can mix humor and heartache. I highly recommend any of his books.
