Title: Surprisingly great!!!
Review: Like many people, I didn't expect much because he's, y'know, an actor, but I read the first page and liked it, and then...wow, it's actually a very deep, quirky, well-written novel that clearly took thought, work and talent - and it's not pretentious. It's a good post-college novel just like Benjamin Kunkel's highly-praised ouevre. If Hawke wasn't an actor, he might be getting the same kind of literary attention Kunkel got. Anyway, he obviously doesn't need the literary success, but this book moves swiftly, has wonderful description, and is a great New York gen-x love story for all ages to enjoy.
