Everything

5 of 5 stars

Read from July 22 to 23, 2010

As I read this book, which I won on Goodreads/First reads btw, I couldn't help but think about how much it reminded me of Hemingway's work. Kevin Canty's style is similar in its simplicity and economy. Each word is carefully chosen for effect and the sentence structure is designed for impact. The characters are so realistic in their search for meaning. I found this book to be very powerful...a meaningful story that left me with a very complete, satisfied feeling.
