Если бы у этой книги не было сюжета, я бы могла читать её бесконечно. Просто про семью, жизнь, взросление, всех окружающих людей. Без террористов, изнасилований и убийств/самоубийств.

Every time I read one one of his books, I fall in love with Irving all over again. He's brilliant, and so is this book. It has everything I expect from this genius author including a bear.

Highly recommended.
