Title: Emotionally threadbare account of a non-pivotal moment.
Product review: The book lacks any of the richness we associate with fine novels.One character dominates the book, and everyone else is filtered through his self deluded know-all understand- all sensibility. The great moment which is supposed to signal the end of Frank's existence period is underwhelming. Some good descriptions of small-town ambience may be the best part of what is otherwise the portrait of a remarkably passive and uninteresting person. There had better be a better novel on contemporary life being written out there
