Ethan Santiago’s Reviews > The Winter of Our Discontent > Status Update

I really hope Danny doesn't take the money and do exactly what he says he's going to do. Ethan seems a bit naive but at the same time, I think anyone would hold out hope for someone they care about. The novel is pretty good. I'm not sure where it is going, being nearly halfway through it and all, but I am looking forward to seeing how it will progress.

As a fellow Ethan, I can empathize with how Ethan Allen Hawley feels about life. The premise of this novel reminds me a bit of John Updike's Rabbit, Run, but I hope Ethan does not turn out like Rabbit. I wonder what he will resort to in order to return his family's fortune. Overall, the writing is wonderful, and I absolutely love the setting, so I have high hopes for how the novel will turn out.
