amandacole 's review for:

Taft by Ann Patchett
3.0

I really wanted to love this book, but in the end, I found that it was just okay. It was a little too slow and I didn't love that while the book seemed to be about John Nickel, there were so many interruptions with Taft and his children, none of which were very exciting. John's relationship with Fay was also a little weird (actually all of his relationships with women were weird) and I didn't really get interested in the story until the last fifty pages or so. This was my first Patchett book, and while I didn't love it, I'm still going to give her other books a chance.
