Book Reviews of Waggle

Book Review: Waggle for me now
Summary: 5 Stars

Can four golfing buddies save suburbia? Alright, can they at least save themselves from suburbia? In this often hilarious, often surprisingly sensitive search for the meaning of life, they just might. While Waggle spends considerable time searching for a social conscience on a suburban golf course, Joe Redden Tigan's first novel is not only a story about four men's (reluctant) white-collar search for self-fulfillment in the suburbs, it's also at parts a slightly demented guidebook on how certain golf bets are constructed and what is involved in the mechanics of many kinds of golf shots.

Waggle certainly alludes to the inevitable ennui of a listless suburban life, but that's not the main purpose of the book--to let things wallow in Pleasant-Valley-Sunday demographic oblivion. Waggle comes to the suburbs already understanding the inherent trappings of affluent complacency, having a history of it, but in search of a solution. As many solutions as possible, in fact. The real question here is not whether an unexamined (suburban) life is vacuous or not, but, if given several ways to lead a more meaningful life, would people take any at all.
