Alyssa Rae’s Reviews > American Pastoral > Status Update

So far, author is overly heavy-handed in his unremarkable detailing of thoughts that every writer has ever had, and, while the plot itself is interesting enough, in his attempt to reveal the person behind the All-American and the inability to really capture that personhood, he idealizes a character who is rather Everyman in an incredibly bland way given the events that are happening to him.
