Negative Positive
Title: Forced myself to finish this one
Review: Most authors create at least one human character the reader will feel sympathetic towards, not Andre Dubus In "House of Sand and Fog". While the characters created were believable and the reader understood what lead to the real estate predicament, one doesn't care. The depressing resolution was almost cheering as the characters are now out of circulation. The prose is primarily well-written though the plot sags about 2/3 of the way through. Skip this one. It doesn't merit Oprah's raves. Her "Good Housekeeping" seal of approval doesn't make this a good read.
