A review by bearforester
The Risk Pool by Richard Russo

5.0

Excellent writing, like every Russo novel I've read. Fairly moving at times, covers childhood (mostly) and adult years of narrators life with his parents, mostly his father. I'm not too into the child point of view thing, but the writing and story were very good.

I'd start with Empire Falls or the Straight Man, but after those, this is an excellent choice.
