What a gem!
It's rare in these busy times to stumble upon a novel worthy of the glorious yet exhausting all-night read. But within the first few pages of "The Good Body," I knew that a good night's sleep was not in the cards. It's 5AM in the morning; my work day is doomed, yet my mind still reels from the poetic beauty and honesty that is this novel. Can a mere book still...

What a disappointment
This is not a very good novel at all.The story is not credible and unrealistic.The prose is dull and predictable.Most of the characters are either bland general types or stereotypes.The only ones you'll even remotely care about are Bobby,Oscar,and Margaret,because they're the only ones who seem to have any life to them.Forget it.There are other,better novels...

This review is from: The Good Body: A Novel (Hardcover)
It's rare in these busy times to stumble upon a novel worthy of the glorious yet exhausting all-night read. But within the first few pages of "The Good Body," I knew that a good night's sleep was not in the cards. It's 5AM in the morning; my work day is doomed, yet my mind still reels from the poetic beauty and honesty that is this novel. Can a mere book still move a jaded reader to tears? The answer, thanks to Lewis Nordan's "Sharpshooter Blues", Jonathan Franzen's "The Corrections," and now Bill Gaston's "The Good Body," is a resounding YES! What a triumph!
