Members Reviews:
Very enjoyable follow-up to Kramer vs. Kramer
More than a decade after Kramer vs. Kramer changed the way Americans looked at divorce and fatherhood Corman returns to the subject matter. The societal changes that occurred in the intervening years are apparent in "50". The protagonist, Doug Gardner, is divorced with joint custody of his two children. The books is highly readable (as I also found Kramer vs. Kramer to be) and you can't help but root for Doug as he questions everything about his life, his failed marriage, his job, his place in his children's lives. Doug stoically (and comically at times) withstands it all. Corman's male characters have a depth that's lacking in a lot of fiction. Doug Gardner is at the same time a man who is well regarded in his profession as a national sports columnist but constantly preoccupied with "paying the bills". It's a position that anyone who has been the breadwinner can sympathize with. Especially fascinating is Doug's exploration of his feelings as his ex-wife, an erstwhile loser professionally, has her career begin to blossom. Then she marries rich and Doug finds himself competing for his children's attention and affection with a wealthy intruder. Definitely worth the time to read this book.
Forgot This Book Before I Even Finished Reading It
Avery Corman writes well but this book just doesn't have a whole lot of substance. Easy to read; easier to forget.
