WILD RELEASE NOTES:

***OOPS, I screwed this up. The book will be at the Meetup at Café Mozart.***

Bringing to the meetup at 6:30. See you there?

If there are no takers, I'll leave it with the books on the shelf across from the register.

Caught it at the first June Evanston BC Meet-up. Thanks, Rampallion!

I appreciate this book without really loving it. Russo writes some great, fully rounded characters, and he really knows how to convey a sense of place--in this case, an old factory town at the nadir of decline, presided over by the lady of the mansion on the hill across the river. However, I grew really frustrated with the main character, almost as much as his ex-wife in the story does. I know his passive temperament is a large point in the story, but I still wanted to shake him and say, "DO something!" I enjoyed his awful dad though.
