Surprisingly good. The characters felt real in their actions and the book had this low-key humor that I like. In the hands of another author, this story would have been too sweet, but this was just about right.
I liked this latest Tropper but not as much as his other books. I just never really connected with the characters like I usually do. Still, it was a quick, enjoyable read.
Liked this one very much. The intricacies of family.
Not as good as some of his others, but still classic Tropper. I laughed out loud several times.
I really like Jonathan Tropper's sense of humor but this book wasn't nearly as good as This is Where I Leave You.
Not as good as this is where I leave you, but pretty good.
What a great writer! Loved his last book, too. Will read more of his work.
It took me forever to finish this book and I just wasn't that into it at any point. I'm not sure I'll read another Tropper book if this is what they're all like. Parts of this one were funny and I highlighted some great lines, but I honestly did not care if Silver lived or died - not exactly a good sign.
2.5* I really liked This Is Where I Leave You, especially the main character's voice, and while the elements of what Tropper's last novel great are here, they don't add up. This was a super quick read but I didn't find myself connecting with any of the characters. The female characters came off as bitchy and I can't tell if I'm supposed to feel sorry for Silver or what exactly I'm supposed to feel for him.
I've read a lot of Jonathan Tropper and this isn't his best work. There are funny parts to it but it's not as funny as a lot of the other ones. I don't hate the main character as much as a lot of the other reviewers do but I also didn't care too much about what he decided. With a better character, the ending would have infuriated me but here it just slightly annoyed.
