Great Holiday Read!,
By
This review is from: Thanksgiving Night (Hardcover)
Great Read! Couldn't wait to see what happened next to the crazy but loveable characters of Point Royal, Virginia. With Bausch's attention to detail and the myriad of events, you will know them all intimately by the time the turkey is served for Thanksgiving dinner. I highly recommend you pick up a copy of this book and enjoy it with your pumpkiin pie!

More than You Want to Know,

This review is from: Thanksgiving Night: A Novel (Paperback)
I couldn't get through this book. Too much detail about characters I couldn't get to care about. The "Crazies" are not funny, the others not appealing. I also read Bausch's "Peace" and there, too, found way too much detail - not interesting detail, just detail for its own sake, apparently. I skipped sections in "Peace," because the core of the story is interesting, but I skipped the whole second half of "Thanksgiving Night." Bausch makes some good observations and similies. He has skill, but he needs to know when enough is enough.

I wanted to like this book,
By
This review is from: Thanksgiving Night: A Novel (Paperback)
Initially I thought that this would remind me of Richard Russo, whose writings I love. But after slogging through my requisite 100 pages, I found I could not go on. I don't know if the fault lies in the stock situations or characters, but it just seems he takes too many words to say too little.
