revellee 's review for:

House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III
3.0

This story escalates quickly and unrealistically.
The characters are all kind of pathetic and depressing and and I wasn't too broken up about the tragic ending.
The author does not do a great job of writing from a woman's perspective.
But I didn't dislike the book, hence the three stars instead of two.
I'd watch the movie if I came across it on tv. The lack of depth in character seems like it would make a better movie anyway.
