    <body><![CDATA[Brightness Falls -- what an appropriate title. How could McInerney have gone from Bright Lights, a narrative tour de force, to this sprawling, turgid mess?

It is set in 1987, which at first annoyed the heck out of me with the Wall Street/Bright Lights, Bic City/St. Elmo's Fire-ishness of it all...Gradually, the story drew me in and the characters really won me over. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think this book  is TOTALLY underrated. It has its flaws but I think the elegiac tone is just right. I also think it would make a great movie in the right hands, and I mean that as a huge compliment.]]></body>
