But, I finished Charming Billy. I thought it was very good. It's not an extremely ambitious book, and it's certainly not a book that hits you over the head with sheer genius. It is, instead, simply an old-fashioned good book. It's story is simple, it's prose is lovely, it's characters are believable... It's just good. And the last chapter is especially lovely.
Since finishing Charming Billy, I've started Amsterdam by Ian McEwan. It's a little too early yet to be voicing any opinions, but it seems pretty intriguing so far.
