Book Review of Celestial Navigation

Celestial Navigation
Celestial Navigation
Author: Anne Tyler
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback
Helpful Score: 1


Don't get me wrong, I love Anne Tyler. I think I have read most of her books over the years, but somehow this one had slipped through the cracks. Let's just say that this was not her best effort. The characters just never seemed to make any sense at all, and were really not even believable human beings. Tyler can portray madness better than most (and that is part of why I love her), but this book was just out in left field. I will give it three stars (a stretch) simply because I love everything else I've read by her.
