Review title: overhype,as usual
Product review: Ron Charles review was better than the book! I could not relate or warm to any of these characters. I found the book boring ,frankly,through many passages. There was inconsistency(one place where the mom was referred to as "old fashioned",yet it was already brought out she'd had affairs,and drank..);but,bigger problem,just unlikable people,or worse I felt indifferent towards them-they were sterile. All those years,condensed,of course,for novel-size reading,but left me feeling let-down. there have been made-for-t.v. movies,etc..about Down's syndrome people marrying and all the parental concerns/conflicts..just another book about a bad marriage,'cause of a "bad"white male,and doctor,to boot. but i didn't find the story stirring,tho' first pages were promising.
