Title: Disappointing!
Review: I found that I couldn't even finish this book. The author has a beautiful narrative style, but I found nothing to like in any of the characters in this book. Jack was a whiner, his mother was a melodramatic pain in the butt, and the daughter was just TOO TOO precocious. The alcoholic father was a caricature. The draft dodger turned priest was just TOO noble. Everyone in this book was some kind of extreme. Enough already... if I want this kind of story, I'll watch for a movie-of-the-week. There are far better writers out there.
