Everybody's Fool - Review

Everybody's Fool
by Richard Russo
Published  May 3, 2016, by Knopf


Finished 11/1/16

3.5 stars

Wow, 18 1/2 hours of audio is a long book.  And some of it is a rehash of the first book, Nobody's  Fool, so the mind wanders.  If it wasn't for the mix of every day, ordinary characters  and the outright crazy bunch that inhabit North Bath, there would be nothing special about the book.  My favorite remains Sully, a gruff old guy, getting up in years now and not exactly healthy, but compared to everyone else in town, he's heroic, iconic, and angelic. I kept wanting more of him!

Mark Brammall again flawlessly narrates the audio.
