A review by jodyjsperling
The End of the Point by Elizabeth Graver

3.0

Graver struggled to keep my attention in this novel. Sometimes the narrative seemed a bit meandering. Of the vivid scenes, the middle section of part three when Charlie gets involved in civil disobedience is quite good. Everything surrounding the cat that he adopts for his friend while his friend is in jail feels important and urgent. Also, Charlie's relationship with his mother toward the latter quarter of the novel is well-portrayed. Overall, I would not be excited to read Elizabeth Graver again anytime soon, but I can feel a great well of talent rising in parts of this book.
