A review by jeffdc
Augustus by John Williams

5.0

I hesitated to begin this book. Having not long ago read both Stoner and Butcher's Crossing I had great expectations. However, I also balked a bit at both the epistolary format and the topic (which I was afraid I knew all too little about). Who can say if my hesitation was wrong? I can say however that this is an excellent book. I am not much one for authoring reviews, so if you want to know more go read one of the other reviews inscribed here on the stone columns of this mausoleum of books read.
