Talk to Me

*4.5 stars. Moving, funny, heartbreaking and ultimately sweetly melancholic, Talk to Me is yet another solid entry in Boyle's exceptional tradition of examining who people are and what is the very nature of our existence. His keen eye of humanity - all that is wonderful and all that is terrible - make his novels hum with truth and life. As always, I was highly entertained, even if a bit saddened and angry, when he forayed into the dark places one might expect given his subject matter.
