I've read all Russo's novels, and Bridge of Sighs was my favorite by far. And yet, while the reviews were positive, I didn't see any that agreed.

Maybe its because choosing to stay in your home town, a choice few major book reviewers make, is implicitly praised. Maybe because the guy who goes in the booth for every election, but never actually votes, comes off as more loveable than Mrs. People Don't Change, his Bush-hating wife. Or it could be that I don't know squat, and the Pulitzer Prize winning Empire Falls really was better.
