The Magnificent Ambersons
by Booth Tarkington
by Booth Tarkington
I really liked the beginning of this book -- a great character study that stands for something more than just the individual. Tarkington can also be very funny in a sarcastic kind of vein, which I like. But shortly after the downfall of this family, the story slows down way too much, too much is explained to the reader that it isn't necessary to explain, and the style isn't as sharp. Instead of the story meaning 'more,' as it did in the beginning and middle, it now means less.
