dcmr's review against another edition

I couldn't get through this one.

I loved her other books; "The Year We Left Home" and "City Boy" were fabulous.

There's some beautiful writing in this, but the characters and plot don't hold together. I like the notion of a dude watching the weather channel obsessively, pretty much in any story, but unfortunately this one is also mentally disabled due to sexual abuse in a thoroughly implausible way. There's a lot of grim negativity in the book, but at the same time, the ending is absolute fairy dust, in the ending to a bad musical way.
