Review title: Well Worth Reading
Product review: I have never read a book by this author, so I was coming into it blind without expectations (other than from the "Winner of the Pulitzer Prize" sticker on the cover and I've never put much stock into those prizes anyhow). I was immediately charmed by Russo's writing style, sporadically humorous and at turns elegant and creaky, just like most people, I suppose -- able to pretty up on occasion but never able to hide their shortcomings for long. It made the book feel authentic in a way, and I just liked it. I agree with those who complain about the ending. It was simply too lurid for such quietly heroic and loudly flawed characters. All through the second half of the book I felt the plot gearing up for something dramatic, and then lo-and-behold, something very dramatic happens -- and I did resent that. The rise to conclusion should have felt more natural, and with a better ending it might have. Still, this book is well worth a read, and I'd recommend it to anyone.
