Review title: I tried to enjoy this novel, I really did...
Product review: ...but I just couldn't. And for that reason I cannot recommend Fall on Your Knees. While it is well written, the story is just a series of tragedy piled upon tragedy. After a while, I couldn't care at all about any of the characters because I knew they were all doomed, and there was nothing in them to like anyway. In a nutshell, the novel is about a Canadian family that essentially destroys itself. Reading it is like watching a train wreck in slow motion over and over again -- too torturous and downright depressing. I appreciate books of this sort, for I am a sucker for novels with dark plots, but the aforementioned darkness here is just overkill. It's a shame though. I'd looked forward to reading something that would enthrall me, but this book just didn't do it for me. Disappointing read...
