A review by lmkramer507
Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger

3.0

I loved that I could picture the locations in the "fictitious" community of New Bremen, but the book itself was just ok for me. More commas would have helped, though I got over that frustration after 50 pages or so. The biggest disappointment was that I figured out the ending 90 pages from the end, so there was no suspense to it for me. Also, things were just wrapped up too neatly. The troubled characters either died or lived happily ever after, with most of them dying. If this much death, especially of young people, took place in a town this size in a single summer, it would have a severe effect on the community, much moreso than the people of New Bremen seem to feel as a whole.

Not a bad book, but not such a good one either.
