Title: Fantastic
Product review: Tom Perrotta is a fantastic author. His prose is a delight, and is always in service of the story, never to show off what a good writer he is. His characters are nuanced and compelling -- people you can identify with, or at least understand, even when they are making terrible choices that might wreck their own lives, and those of their loves ones.I found it particularly impressive that Perrotta manages to get in the mind of the child molester, so that, despite his atrocious tendencies and crimes, he comes across not as a monster, but as a profoundly flawed and ill human being.This was the first book by Perrotta I read. It won't be the last.
