A review by cheerbrarian
House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III
4.0
This book was a gift from a friend. That I received in June. I started reading it then, but it was just tough so I put it down. I finally picked it up again about a month ago and finally have made it through: I consider it a major victory.
It was one of the hardest things I've ever read because it was just unforgiving. From the very beginning, to the bitter end, it was depressing and a harrowing look at what desperate people can do, and how quickly things can unravel. In addition, the pace was glacial but I still had to finish it because I had to know what happened. I would recommend it because it is well-written but it's definitely the kind of thing you read only once.
