The River Is Waiting by Wally Lamb

5.0

dark emotional hopeful medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A must-read emotional roller coaster. I cry at movies all the time but I'm not sure I can recall ever having a book make me cry. Wally Lamb paints a character in Corby that you like, hate, sympathize with, become annoyed with, and finally have to like again. Maybe redemption doesn't have to be the BIG thing so many stories make it out to be. Maybe it' as small as dropping a pebble into a stream. Just read it.
