Helpful Score: 1

This book was quietly depressing. In some ways, it reminded me of the movie _Garden State_, but without the humour, the romance and the redemption. Henry Powell's life of quiet but intense desperation was well written, but in the end there was no real hope for him. This novel was more of an elongated character study than anything else and while there was wrong with it per se, it was just too depressing to really enjoy.
