Industry Reviews
"A probable commercial bonanza, but both twice as long and not as much as it should have been."
(05/01/1998)
"Within Wally Lamb's second book...there's a fine novel shouting to get out.... It's a novel of too little style and too much substance. ....Perhaps sweeping male anger is less fresh than its female equivalent. Or perhaps this 912-page tome simply needed an editor bold enough to persuade a talented novelist whose first book sold 3 million copies (thanks in large part to Oprah Winfrey's benediction) to trim the fat from the meat of its melodrama."
