Title: Pulitzer? Really?
Review: I had only read one of Anne Tyler's books, A Patchwork Planet, and I happened to mention to a friend that I didn't see what the big deal about her was. She told me I'd read one of her minor works, and that I should give this "wonderful author" another try. So I picked Breathing Lessons, figuring I couldn't go wrong with a Pulitzer Prize winning novel.Well, I still don't get what the big deal about Anne Tyler is, and I'm baffled as to why this novel received the Pulitzer. It's dull and not particularly well-written--an average novel about some very average people.
