dmathanas 's review for:

The Tender Bar by J.R. Moehringer
5.0

I wanted to read this book before seeing the movie (which was filmed in a friend’s neighborhood and who also recommended the book).

This may be the most beautiful memoir I’ve ever read. The way the author gives live and personality to a bar as a common meeting place for souls hungry for connection is so well done, I don’t know that I’ve ever read anything like it. I can only give it 5 stars, but I want to give it 10.
