| I heard so many good things about this one, but found it all a bit of a slog. The targets were a bit easy (rich people and woke people and lying spouses oh my), and the shift to thriller mode didn't quite work. I kept reading for Chicky, the Doorman. ...more | |

I gave up on this one for the reason you mention: Franzen can be mean to his characters, but they feel real to me, and I feel a connection. And when h

| I've read Lerner's previous novels out of a sense of duty, a sense that as a writer myself I need to stay current, and Lerner sure is current and in vogue. This was my most enjoyable read, the first time I really had an emotional connect: Lerner seem ...more | |

"What a way to end 2025, and begin 2026 with another incredible read from one of my favourite writers.
The Left and the Lucky follows house painter Eddie, as he takes in 8-year-old Russell, struggling with his absent mother and violent older brother. " Read more of this review » |

| Reads quickly, with lots of overlapping plotlines that never get hard to follow. What kept it from bumping up to 4 stars? Too many people that drove me crazy. I mean, I don't need to like the characters to be engaged, but I do get bothered by people ...more | |

"So here's the deal. The writing is very immersive. It's like you're at the parties with these characters and standing right there in the midst of their conversations.....which would be great if I actually liked these characters. Instead, it feels lik"

Parts of this debut work really well--Brodie does a good job of making us feel like we're in the late 60s, without relying too much on lingo or other potential clichés. The writing goes by very well, and some of the music scenes are nicely done. Ther ...more |

“And so now I'd like to say - people can change anything they want to. And that means everything in the world. People are running about following their little tracks - I am one of them. But we've all got to stop just following our own little mouse trail. People can do anything - this is something that I'm beginning to learn. People are out there doing bad things to each other. That's because they've been dehumanised. It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Greed, it ain't going anywhere. They should have that in a big billboard across Times Square. Without people you're nothing. That's my spiel.”
