    Easy to read but overly long. He can wrest a story out of the most mundane of lives. 3 generations of a family that owns a corner grocery story and all the complications of growing up in a small town in upstate New York.

    I enjoyed this book but it is long and was slow at times.

    It is aptly named, I'll say that for it. I sighed and sighed while reading it. I really should only rate it two stars, but in there, among the hundreds and hundreds of unnecessary pages is a good story with good characters. It's just so... *SIGH* effing LONG and BORING.

    So far, it's great although it's depressing.

    Not as good as Nobody's Fool or Empire Falls, but better than Straight Man. The characters and central issues were just not as appealing.
