alex_watkins 's review for:
The Shipping News
by Annie Proulx
This book was slow to start and hard to get into. At first I thought it was going to be another book about a buffoonish fat man like A Confederacy of Dunces. However the characters quickly evolve from caricatures. The style at first I found off putting and confusing, but it became more comprehensible as I went along. An interesting read, though I was expecting more after all the awards it received.
