  Bridge of Sighs: A Novel (Vintage Contemporaries)
  Once again Richard Russo works his magic here, creating a world and peopling it with characters who are so alive that it's sometimes painful to feel what they are feeling. More melancholy than "Nobody's Fool" or "Empire Falls," but worth every minute.

• I loved this book
  This book was so good that I think it has ruined me for other books. It may be the best book I have ever read.

• Haunting
  As a Richard Russo fan (I've read everything he's written), I was dumbfounded by this book at times.
  Unlike Empire Falls, the Bridge of Sighs takes long, rambling detours through story and emotion. I found myself at times saying, "Okay, already. Get on with it." I also found myself absolutely intrigued by Russo's descriptions of the characters' interior lives and his incisive connections between the seemingly disconnected and mundane goings on in everyone's lives.
  I finished the book a week ago... more info

• I loved this book
  This is the best book I have read in a long time. I think I liked it better than "Empire Falls." It is a book that leaves you examining the pattern on the carpet of your own life.
