Anxious People

Judging by the reviews I thought I would like this book much more than I did. I wanted to like it but ultimately it fell flat for me. I liked some elements, a few of the characters and some of the writing, but it was told in a very roundabout way that got frustrating at times and many of the characters seemed static and flat. There was far too much telling and not enough demonstrating in the writing. Plus, it was a bit sentimental in telling you the way the world is. I prefer that kind of thing to be more implied than outright said.
