Economically stunted towns produce emotionally stunted men.

I am very embarrassed it took me this long to finish this book. It's not that it was bad...it was very good actually, I just had a lot going on with moving then visiting family and just being on my downhill of my reading mountain and combined you have me taking almost 3 months to finish "Empire Falls"...like I said, I love this book. While for me, it was the last 100 pages that upped the ante and made it hard for me to put down (which I didn't, stayed up till 2 am this morning finishing it) but the rest were still good at stewing the pot and setting up all the blocks that were going to be knocked down.
I literally gasped and said "oh god" a couple of times in the book and that very rarely happens. I definitely recommend.

I started writing a review about 4 times. It doesn't work. I just loved it. It's perfect. The setting, the plot, the characters, each and every one of them. And Miles, I fell for you. Big time.

Very well written but I didn't really love any of the characters. But still, very well written so it's not a bad read.
