I continue to be amazed at the storytelling skills of Jonathan Tropper. He has a human insight unreached by most other writers. He has an umatched ability for empathy and a sparkling, detailed imagination. This particular book is so ripe for moviedom, and is reminiscent of the classic ensemble movies of the 80s, with a maturation upgrade for the characters. This book is almost a masterpiece. Its only flaw is that there's some overdrama here. Too many over-the-top incidents. If a story takes place in our reality, then it needs to be grounded there. This does make it a fun read, however, and I recommend all of Tropper's work. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:Jonathan Tropper??s novel The Book of Joe dazzled critics and readers alike with its heartfelt blend of humor and pathos. Now Tropper brings all that??and more??to an irresistible new novel. In Everything Changes, Tropper delivers a touching, wickedly funny new tale about love, loss, and the perils of a well-planned life. EVERYTHING CHANGES To all appearances, Zachary King is a man with luck on his side. A steady, well-paying job, a rent-free Manhattan apartment, and Hope, his stunning, blue-blooded fiancée: smart, sexy, and completely out of his league. But as the wedding day looms, Zack finds himself haunted by the memory of his best friend, Rael, killed in a car wreck two years earlier??and by his increasingly complicated feelings for Tamara, the beautiful widow Rael left behind. Then Norm??Zack??s freewheeling, Viagra-popping father??resurfaces after a twenty-year absence, looking to make amends. Norm??s overbearing, often outrageous efforts to reestablish ties with his sons infuriate Zack, and yet, despite twenty years of bad blood, he finds something compelling in his father??s maniacal determination to transform his own life. Inspired by Norm, Zack boldly attempts to make some changes of his own, and the results are instantly calamitous. Soon fists are flying, his love life is a shambles, and his once carefully structured existence is spinning hopelessly out of control. Charged with intelligence and razor sharp wit, Everything Changes is at once hilarious, moving, sexy, and wise??a work of transcendent storytell No library descriptions found. |
