A review by kirsten0929
The Book of Joe by Jonathan Tropper
4.0
*Chuckles - 5-stars - I find him really funny, definitely a comedy of a book
*Writing - 4-stars - I think he's a really good writer for what this is, feels like a natural voice, unforced
*Story - 3-stars - decent premise, but a little overly action-packed. Did he really need to be in multiple fights AND have his car blow up AND get pushed over a waterfall AND...etc. Some situations and dialogue a little cliched.
*Characters - 4-stars - funny and likable, sometimes a little cliched but not to the point of distraction. Sometimes nice insights into human emotion and psychology
*Easy read/guilty pleasure - 5-stars
