So Brave, Young and Handsome

After thoroughly enjoying Peace Like a River by Leif Enger, I was excited to read his next book, So Brave, Young and Handsome. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I only finished the book because it's an easy read and I was hoping for a spectacular finish. The ending wasn't so spectacular. Annoying, nonsensical characters and a wandering plot make for a tedious read. The author may have been trying to reinvent heroism, but I missed it between the slowest chase ever and the "I'm-supposed-to-be-a-deep-thought" one-liners at the end of almost every chapter. My recommendation: Don't waste your time hoping for a good ending to a bad book.
