This was a quick read. I read it for an upcoming book club meeting. It was the first of Richard Yates books that I've read although I did enjoy the movie Revolutionary Road. Having seen that movie, I expected this book to be similar in tone. For me, it was though provoking, serious and a little bleak.

Exceptional writing
If you appreciate fine writing then you will enjoy this book. Yates has a knack for writing about sad, disturbed characters, giving them a memorable persona. A simple story that makes you think about relationships and family ties...how they bind and how they can hurt.
