Brilliant characterization, as always with Hassler, but the story itself lacks the appeal of most of his other books. ( ) 2894 Grand Opening, by Jon Hassler (read 4 Aug 1996) This 1987 book is the 5th Hassler book I've read. The book has no character or locale from his previous books, which I regretted. The characters are weirdos for the most part, and I did not think they were well or realistically drawn. Lots of false notes, I thought. Small town life is exaggerated--and a town of 1500, which his fictional town is, is not that small. I really believe this is the poorest of Hassler's novels which I have read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Twelve-year old Brendan tells the story, set in 1944-45, that begins with his parents' decision to buy a run-down grocery store in a tiny Minnesota town. What they discover about small town idealism, bigotry, and good old American values will change them and the town forever.... "A writer good enough to restore your faith in fiction."
