This is the self absorbed ramblings of a lost man searching for meaning while championing all of his mechanisms to avoid any depth or meaning in his life. Despite that the book does engage and provide some thought provoking ideas. ( )

Riktigt behaglig berättelse att förlora sig i. Vackert berättat och trots att det är mycket text känns det överkomligt. Snubblande nära högsta betyg. ( )

I found this very slow-moving, navel gazing book to start with. I struggle to like or empathise with Frank Bascombe, sportswriter, divorced father of two children, philanderer. However, by books end I wanted to continue the series. ( )

Eccezionale nella descrizione del quotidiano, della complicata semplicità dei comportamenti umani. Un punto di vista che parte da Haddam, New Jersey, e lì finisce, ma senza mancare di arrivare in ogni altra provincia di una middle-class davvero universale. ( )

Banal musings of a painfully boring, clueless, and self-absorbed man. The only good thing to come of this reading experience is knowing that I will never have to read another novel by Richard Ford. ( )
