reschafer 's review for:

The Candy House by Jennifer Egan
4.0

I really enjoyed this book, it was well written, very entertaining, and had well developed characters. I wish there were fewer characters, and more of a continuation to the characters' stories. What was in the suitcase of that Comstock guy's girlfriend? It got very confusing, trying to remember all the characters. This writer is excellent, but I would like to read a book where she builds in more of a moral or social commentary. The social commentary angle here was lost amongst the music and Hollywood stars, and successful capitalists.
