jessicaxmaria 's review for:
Revolutionary Road
by Richard Yates
It's interesting how straight-forward the writing is here, given how emotional it made me while I read it. Like another novel I read recently about a sad marriage (Run River by Joan Didion), the prose is bleak, blunt, and the characters are not entirely likable. But I loved them both - maybe the depressing aspects of a relationship are just much more tangible than the flowery, romantic ones. Intensely enjoyed Revolutionary Road in all its depressing and vile moments.
(A couple of lines made me take in my breath aloud, so shocking were the utterances by certain characters.)
