"The Odds: A Love Story", by Stewart O'Nan ****

  • Review:   Did you ever want to know the odds of being killed in a bus crash? The odds of being proposed to on Valentine's Day?  The odds of honeymooning in the same place twice, with the same man?  The odds of surviving going over Niagara Falls with or without a barrel?  Do you want to cringe at the realism of this novel about a 30 year old marriage?  This is the book for you.

    As usual, Stewart O'Nan, finds a way to convey to the reader some sense of the small amount of control we have over our lives, over our relationships, and over our feelings.  He writes in a manner which makes you cringe, and smile, and cry.  Tough to read, but very good.
