Verdict: The Brooklyn Follies

Ms. Lower neglected to read the book whilst vacationing in Costa Rica, but the rest of us held a productive discussion today. I think most of us agreed that the story wrapped up too quickly, that it relegated the fates of the characters Auster took such effort to establish to afterthoughts, and also that the ending was just kind of predictable. Leah made a good case for interpreting the hasty conclusion as a reflection of 'real' life, but that didn't make us any happier about it.

Overall, we rated the book on a Hoppus scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, as follows:
