I really wanted to like it, literary fiction about the midwest! Where I'm from! The corrections is maybe my favorite book! But something about the writing in this book rubbed me the wrong way. It just feels too try-hardy. And while sometimes the characters and situations feel real, it also feels like he relies too much on cliche, the characters caricatures. But I also blasted through it so I obviously didn't completely hate it. Some moments were beautiful.
