Description

A riotously funny, emotionally raw New York Times bestselling novel about love, marriage, divorce, family, and the ties that bind—whether we like it or not. The death of Judd Foxman’s father marks the first time that the entire Foxman clan has congregated in years. There is, however, one conspicuous absence: Judd's wife, Jen, whose affair with his radio- shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public. Simultaneously mourning the demise of his father and his marriage, Judd joins his dysfunctional family as they reluctantly sit shiva and spend seven days and nights under the same roof. The week quickly spins out of control as longstanding grudges resurface, secrets are revealed and old passions are reawakened. Then Jen delivers the clincher: she's pregnant... “Often sidesplitting, mostly heartbreaking...[Tropper is] a more sincere, insightful version of Nick Hornby, that other master of male psyche.”—USA Today  NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING JASON BATEMAN, TINA FEY, JANE FONDA, AND ADAM DRIVER

Es hat mir gefallen, aber nicht so gut, wie das erste Buch das ich von Tropper gelesen habe. Vielleicht wäre es anders gewesen, wenn ich dieses als erstes... ach egal. Ich mochte es, aber ich fand nicht viel besonderes dran. Vielleicht habe ich in letzter Zeit zu viele Familiengeschichten gelesen? Jedenfalls ist Tropper empfehlenswert und dieses Buch ebenfalls. Trotzdem zu diesem Zeitpunkt "nur" 3 Sterne.

Quite a cool book. A bit more on the depressing side but with a lot of humour inbetween. So I'd say it depends on what mood your in when you read it. The setting was interesting. I definitely didn't expect most of what happened, so it didn't get boring but remained entertaining. So it's a good and light read. Light in the sense that I found it was easy to read and though it deals with some familiar issues it didn't leave any deeper impressions with me. It was a new perspective on family/adult life but I just couldn't relate to it as deeply as with other characters in other stories.
