Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.It took me a few chapters to get into this book because it's outside my usual go-to taste, but ultimately I really enjoyed this sympathetic but not treacly portrayal of an alcoholic doorman in the 70s. Con is sort of an anti-hero who you will find yourself simultaneously wincing at and rooting for.

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.A good book, but so sad! I felt like Connie, the main character meant well, but got frustrated with him and his drinking. This book shows the effects that suicide can have on families for years to follow. Connie’s father committed suicide when he was a child, Connie is an alcoholic, and his kids suffer.

Enjoy!
I have to leave a longer review even though I said so much on my video about it. I only made to page 30. I did not like the characters or the writing in the book as well.
