Actually this book didn't win a Pulitzer Prize, as it states on the top of my copy's cover. The author did, but the book didn't. The Pulitzer was awarded for "Ironweed," the third book in the author's "Albany" trilogy. "Legs" is the first book in that trilogy.

I wanted to enjoy this book, but I didn't like the writing style. And the story just didn't seem to be going anywhere. So after struggling through 94 pages of this 317-page novel I decided to move on to something better, which just happened to be a short Young Adult novel. Sometimes I like to read a book in the YA genre to give my brain a rest from more complicated stuff.
