the good side

Tana French shows the good side of a grizzled old guy who helps a rootless, hardened kid find someone they love. Why should the grizzled old buy care, he's taken his lumps and just wants to renew himself by working on an old house. This kid shows up hoping to get the guy to help. It takes a while and they clash a bit but they wind up solving a mystery and the kid winds up with someone who actually cares. I liked it. Like in life, you sometimes find the very odd person who fits nowhere but has talents and knowledge well beyond what you expect. These characters are that kind of people.

It was okay

It's about a middle aged man leaving his home looking for a fresh start. Honestly I expected more and thought there was going to be a big shocker twist. There really wasn't. I'd say there were a few surprises but not mind boggling, unexpected twists. I honestly figured out the ending before finishing. Just a basic novel. It's average.
