A review by klgreen
The Bartender's Tale by Ivan Doig

1.0

I generally like character studies and don't usually mind a slower pace, but this book just did not do it for me. I kept waiting for something...anything...engaging to happen. But, even the "big reveal" at the end just kind of limped in. It was touted as a coming of age story about the summer one boy's world was turned upside down. But, in the end, it felt like the world merely tilted slightly.
