Helpful Score: 6
This is a big, lush book that intertwines the stories of several generations of men and boys at an exclusive boarding school. Not a fast or easy read, but well worth the time. I am a big fan of Paul Russell.
Did you ever read a book where you tell the character not to go there, but they do anyway? That was this book.
My metaphor for a well written book where the author knows how to hook you in and be sympathetic to the characters, well at least some of them. I'm not so keen on being dragged through the muck, but at some point you are invested and want to see how it turns out.
Overall I have mixed feelings.
