A review by bavariancowriot
The Free World by David Bezmozgis

4.0

I really enjoyed this book throughout, until the end. While there was nothing wrong with the ending and how the stories ended, I found it to be a bit rushed compared to the rest of the book, which had much more detail and elaboration on the characters and their internal struggles...but then, perhaps that was intentional given the circumstances (which I won't detail so as not to spoil the book for any future readers). Nonetheless, highly recommended, along with Bezmozgis' Natasha and Other Stories.
