I know I'm spozed to like this book. It's a Pulitzer Prize winner and I've read them all, just to know what other more erudite and specialized folks consider great literature. I tried; I really tried. Gave it my undivided attention and all. But reading this book was a painful and depressing experience. Please, please spare me...!!
Unsympathetic narrator, depressing settings in the present and past, unwieldy flash-backs and flash-forwards. Banal dialogue, cardboard characters who are just not nice people, plot only barely credible. Thank heavens it's short. In a word, depressing. It made me wonder about the writer... and about the Pulitzer Prize jury. In it's favor, it represents a certain trend of rural, historical realism literature. But believe me, reading Tinkers will give you a Big Blues book hangover for a week.

Our book club picked this b/c of it's recent prize, but honestly... I just can't get into it. It was long. Very very long. There was no story to be drawn into, even if the writer clearly has a way with words. Words alone, are not enough to keep me interested. I quit the book after 80 pages, of which I regret reading 60, because I knew almost instantly that this book was not for me. I just wanted so much to like this book, but didn't.
I wanted to *find the events* in the book, but simply couldn't! It was a lot of reflection, and pondering, and memory, and this and that and the other but nothing seemed to happen that led me down a path. I felt like I was just meandering through two character's memories, bored to tears all the while.
Certain things flat out annoyed me. I found it slightly pretentious to assume that I would read 10 pages of a seemingly pointless (well, to me it was without real meaning), hallucination, for example. 10 PAGES. Really? Ugh. That was rough. I just kept thinking, "jesus, get ON with it".
I think readers who enjoy REEEALLYYYYYY taking their time to get to know characters and who don't mind when authors ramble as long as there's a pretty passage on each page, will enjoy this book.
I suppose I just really enjoy when a book *grabs* me, and then *shakes* me, then *slaps me in the face*, then *tells me to run!* you know? This book was massaging my back and whispering a lullaby, and occasionally saying "shhhhhhh... sleeeeeppppp" lol.
I enjoy page-turners. This is the exact OPPOSITE of that. Every single page I had to tell myself "turn the page, go on, don't give up, not yet".
