A review by vivakresh
Empire Falls by Richard Russo

dark funny sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Found myself in turns laughing, rolling my eyes, and turning pages quickly. Such a ridiculous book! Yet it held my attention from start to finish.
