Title: Dull and joyless - Tyler's worst book so far
Product review: I guess I'm in the minority around here, but I found this book tedious and joyless. I didn't grow to like ANY of the characters or care about what happened to them.I have very much enjoyed Anne Tylers' other books and recognize that she is a major talent. Her observations are keen and her prose is flawless, but not even she could bring this family of bickering, simpering and aimless people to life for me.I will confess that I didn't make it to the end -- I listened to the audio version and made it to the 6th tape before realizing that life is too short to waste on books you don't like.
