Not many authors can get his characters out of the books and sitting right next to you like Richard Russo. Told mostly from a teenager's perspective, this book has some vivid and hilarious scenes unfolding in typical Russo fashion. After putting down "The Risk Pool", as with Russo's other books, one always comes away with a deeper understading and appreciation for who really sits right next to you in your family, your neighborhood and your town. (Fic Russo, R) Located on the 2nd floor in our adult fiction section.
Written by Richard Russo, 1994. Most of Richard Russo's fans are familar with his more recent works including "Bridge of Sighs," "Empire Falls," and "Straight Man." Be sure to read his earlier novels "Nobody's Fool" (a Paul Newman movie) and "Risk Pool."
