Title: Disappointing
Review: After Revolutionary Road, Young Hears Crying is a let down. Whereas in Revolutionary Road, Yates was able to penetrate not only the skins but the souls of his characters and unpack his plot in a deliberate and surprising manner, in this book he can only draw sketchy characters who act without rime or reason, who pass by rather than communicate with each other, and who act--if they do-without purpose or motivation. Sad to say, this is a dull and boring book, unfocused and unenlightening. I couldn't finish it.Just a question: Was the alcohol responsible for this failure of vision and commitment?
