hiltonfarmer 's review for:

The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler
4.0

Tyler’s talent is not creating exceptional characters, but it is describing the type of people that you might meet on any given day. In this book in particular, the characters are so real you can sometimes get bored with them or little things they do might irritate you. Your relation to them is like that cousin you care about, but you’d rather not spend too much time with. I am constantly impressed with her ability to show humans as they are, not as they ought to be.
