After Straub's passing, I wanted to read his most famous book. While the characters were charming (I loved finicky Ricky) and the story itself was cool, I found it a little too long and conversational for my liking. I honestly think it's due more to my short attention span at the moment, since it's obviously a quality book with great writing. Not my cup of tea right now, but most assuredly somebody else's.
