Book Review: ---
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is my introduction to John Updike, and I confess I haven't finished reading it. So I will try not to make comments that are likely to seem false to me later.He writes with such compassion that it makes you want to reach out to the characters. Since you can't do that, it makes you reach out to your friends, and people in general. It helps you see past the antagonizing surface of mankind, and into their lovable weaknesses. He also abandons many conventions of the typical narrative, and to me, it just helps to point out the stories aren't as important as life.
