Loved it, man. Finished it about a month ago. Fantastic book. The intro was incredible. It resonated with me and hooked me immediately. He describes small town ethos perfectly. Wonderful, rich characters. I absolutely agree with you.
Finished Ohio last night and I really enjoyed it. Some of the words he used were a bit flowery for my liking, and part of the ending with Tina and Todd was a bit far fetched, but aside from that this book was an absolute powerhouse. I haven’t read a book in years, yet I breezed through these 500 pages and finished the last 90 last night. This book is going to get me back into reading.
Finished it two days ago and it was amazing. Credit booktuber Just Juan reader for recommending it. I also put it down for a few days too, didn’t want it to end.
I just myself a copy on hardcover. Can't wait to dig into it, since I read the synopsis it instantly grabbed my attention and your review made me want to read it more. I love books where the story is a series of vignettes.
Never heard of this book before. Definitely gonna check it out (good time for an epic novel). Have you read 2666? Sounds a little similar and that is also divided into five novella length sections.
Sounds good man. I will pick this up. Does it help you if we use your Amazon link? Just wanted to know I will use your link for all my future purchases if so
Been looking into reading more contemporary style books, I dunno if that's the right way to describe them but "ohio" looks like that to me. Would you say it's contemporary?.. I recently started "Virgil wander" by "Leif enger" and it's really good. I recommend it to you pal.

I love that you took your time with this one. Some books just deserve that I feel.
Agreed

I can tell I'm gonna love this. You have the best recommendations man.
Glad to be of service 😁
Yo, thanks for making me aware of this book. I absolutely adored it.
Gotta read Publish this Book by Markley. Found it in 2010, and he has been one of my favorites since.
All time favorite.

I also put it down for a few days too, didn’t want it to end.
Need to get this one on pay day.
Your enthusiasm is through the roof.
Awesome.
Books like this one, IT, and THE GOLDFINCH are rare indeed
Since you mentioned John Irving, I DNF'd The World According to Garp, even though I loved the movie. Just too many long summaries of different events.

I always take my time with really wonderful books. Sometimes I even put them aside for months, yes
I do that a lot too
Absolutely loved this book. Great review.
It's so good!
I can't watch this yet. But beard was here.
I bought this only couple weeks ago. Not read it yet
You’re right, Ohio is as good as The Goldfinch. I’d maybe rate TG slightly above Ohio but both are great
Unbelievable book. The ending really stuck with me for a while.
Just finished and it was astounding.
As the kids say, this book lives in my head rent-free lol
@@EdwardLorn lol indeed. I'm from Mansfield, Ohio and it was super neat to read of a social and physical landscape so familiar to me.
Never heard of this book before. Definitely gonna check it out (good time for an epic novel). Have you read 2666? Sounds a little similar and that is also divided into five novella length sections.
I'm going to have to check this one out :D Excellent review, E! :D
Thanks!
King and Irving?! Added to my want to read immediately!
Merci beaucoup. Je viens de commander la traduction en français qui a de très bonnes critiques.
Je vous en prie!
This book is one of my favorites!
You had me wanting to read this and then you dropped David Joy's name and now I HAVE to read it.
Long-winded Joy, but in the best possible way.
@@EdwardLorn I'm all about that.
Glad you enjoyed this one :)

Yup. I'm an Amazon affiliate. Thanks!

Contemporary only means that it happens in the present day so yeah I guess it is contemporary.
@@EdwardLorn thanks pal
