A review by kweekwegg
Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon

4.0

I was surprised to like this more than Kavalier & Clay, but then again I'm older now and feel like I have a better sense of the genres that Chabon is speaking to. Wonder Boys is like The Big Lebowski but a little more serious and sympathetic with the characters that it sometimes makes fun of; but there were some laugh-out-loud moments which were perhaps my favorite moments of reading. I think I'll continue with Chabon for when I want fun, page-turning genre fiction without sacrificing thoughtful and interesting prose.
