Title: Horribly Disappointing
Review: I realize that I am mortal, and therefore will never get to read every book that is of quality. That concept is one with which I can live. However, I find it atrociously irritating to have wasted what precious time I do have reading crap. House of Sand and Fog is nothing less than a shocking disappointment. So much so, that if I could rank it with 0 stars, I would. Engaged by the characters and their stories at the beginning, I found their depraved actions at the end to be so far-fetched and terribly gratuitously violent and sexual, that I felt like I was watching a cheap Hollywood film. I would find it hard to believe that anyone would buy the actions of these characters as possible. I understand that desperate people often resort to desperate actions, but Mr. Dubus sells these people out at the end. Please save your precious time and money and spend both reading something else.
