Review title: A Nice Read
Product review: EMPIRE FALLS, the latest by the author of NOBODY'S FOOL (made into the movie with Paul Newman) and STRAIGHT MAN, is a good book about the fortunes of Miles Roby, the manager of the local diner (more or less, the greasy spoon of the place) and his family, friends, and acquaintances.The book is similar in color and texture to Richard Russo's over novels with characters of blue collar origin and local pseudo-aristocracy. The plot is straightforward, the prose flows nicely and the characters are fairly believable, especially important at a time when so many authors choose to have protagonists with forced-uniqueness.This is a good novel for the beach or the back porch on a cool summer evening.
