Schwartz's writing style is really strong; I found his voice to be engaging, original, and witty. He really portrays his characters in all three dimensions.
That being said, the story really hinges on that character development and the plot is quite secondary. Stuff happens, but it really isn't the type of plotline that creates suspense in and of itself.

As a total aside: Apparently, the author of this book teaches at my alma mater. I had no idea, but one of my close college friends was on the faculty, and she was excited when she saw I read his book on Facebook. Small world really. I am quite tempted to write him a fan email, lol.… (altro)
