Title: Highly Readable Debut Novel
Product review: George Lament is convinced things must be better elsewhere. So much so, that he is continually uprooting his family to move on to better things. Along for the ride are his wife and three sons. Hagen does a great job at depicting his characters. Particularly rich are Julia, the mother, and the eldest son, Will. The novel is equal parts family drama and coming-of-age tale and quite funny as well. Despite a few contrived and down-right odd plot points, this highly enjoyable novel is a pleasure to read thanks to exceptional pacing and writing that avoids getting bogged down in detail.
