• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

From a completely unremarkable life, Williams draws tragedy, triumph, and beauty. The prose is incredible and he has a talent for drawing out universal lessons from an individual’s story. It’s a book about life and love, told through the lens of an English teacher at a local University.
