Lynn reviewed Stoner by John Williams
Review of 'Stoner' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I can understand the people who quit halfway through this book and then complain about how it's overrated. I kept going to the end, though, and I'm glad I read it. I don't know how to explain why. It was like living someone's life through, and being reminded by doing that all lives are to some extent meaningless, that contentment washes out regrets, and that it all ends. I can't possibly explain why that was good, but it was.
