A review by schwartz22
House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III

2.0

This review probably describes my reading preferences more than the quality of this book; I still feel compelled to write a review. To put it simply, finishing this book was a test of endurance. I do not like the writing of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and the style of writing in this book is very similar: three paragraphs describing the experience of brushing ones teeth while having nothing to do with the plot.
The plot of the story is good, which I'm guessing is why they made the movie.

If Virginia Woolf's writing is something you enjoy then give this book a go. If you're in doubt, do yourself a favor and just watch the movie.
