A review by sstallryan
Private Life by Jane Smiley

3.0

This was a great book in that it really drew me in. Smiley is so great with introducing and developing characters. After a while, though, I started to wonder when the plot would start to move. In my opinion it never really did. At the end I wasn't quite sure why I'd read the whole book. Probably because it was so well-written but the story-line kind of seemed flat and boring. Almost like reading a book about my own life.
