A little hard to form an opinion on this book though I certainly enjoyed it. The writing is alternately engaging and plodding. Hart turns a phrase very gracefully and he hides deep meaning in some of his sentences. You can really feel the emotion driving his story of family angst. The plot, however, leaves something to be desired. Yes, his dad was a mean sucker and his sister is a confused, possibly psychotic mess. His wife appears to simply be a bitch. Trouble is, that leaves us wondering what he is? And the paucity of activity throughout leaves us reviewing the same events over and over in a rather whiny manner. Hard to keep sympathy with any of the characters. It is interesting, it is deeper than most novels like this, but still the whole thing left me unsatisfied.
