Default Re: The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem

Paluka,

I agree with your comments. The sections about the kids I thought were brilliant; I don't think I've seen a book depict kids of that era so realistically ever before.

But the section when they were adults simply was not nearly as captivating. And I even wonder whether the book would have been better without the entire superhero angle.
