"It was okay" pretty much describes this book. Thankfully it was a quick read, and it did have some good one-liners, enough to make me smirk on this inside a little bit. If nothing else, it was insightful. But the ending... oh, the ending was awful. It's a cliffhanger if I ever saw one.. and not in a good way. You simply don't know what happens. The author leaves dozens of questions unanswered. It'salmost as if he just stopped in the middle of the story. Even an epilogue would have solved that problem, but no.. you're just left frustratingly unsatifsfied. I don't know if I'll be reading Jonathan Tropper's other book..
I didn't love this Jonathan Tropper as much as I did his other books but it was still entertaining. His are easy books to read but they carry some darkness with their light, and that makes me feel as though I'm reading something with some substance and not just the "cheeto" equivalent.
Trite and repetitive. But I am guessing it will be made into a movie.
I love his style. Not my favorite plot but had some sweetness to it.
3.5 stars — I really like Jonathan Tropper’s writing style full of witty and irreverent characters and this book was the same. I found the ending to be a bit too quick, and I feel like it was pretty inevitable from the beginning. Overall a very quick and easy read that still feels worthwhile and fresh.
I love this man's writing....quirky, funny, disturbing and profound all at once. Pick this one up!
I don't know what it is about this author! I've read two books about sad middle-aged Jewish men who are lost in life and going through a tough time (not that relatable for me...) and LOVED them both!
