That Old Cape Magic by Richard Russo

1.0

Yes, I hated this book. I should have stopped reading it mid-way through when I realized I'd mumbled "Seriously?" to myself probably fifty times. The only reason I didn't throw the book against the wall then and there was because I wanted to find out what happened to Sunny Kim, the only decent, wonderful, functioning adult in the book. Sadly, it wasn't worth it. Book synopsis: 261 pages of a dysfunctional, whiny guy pillorying his exceptionally dysfunctional parents, driving around with their ashes in the trunk of his car, being guided and bludgeoned by his mother's obsessively critical voice in his head, okay, time to throw this damn book against the wall.
