Description
Right after high school, Joe Goffman left sleepy Bush Falls, Connecticut and never looked back. Then he wrote a novel savaging everything in town, a novel that became a national bestseller and a huge hit movie. Fifteen years later, Joe is struggling to avoid the sophomore slump with his next novel when he gets a call: his father's had a stroke, so it's back to Bush Falls for the town's most famous pariah. His brother avoids him, his former classmates beat him up, and the members of the book club just hurl their copies of Bush Falls at his house. But with the help of some old friends, Joe discovers that coming home isn't all bad—and that maybe the best things in life are second chances.
Fans of Nick Horny and Jennifer Weiner will love this book, by turns howling funny, fiercely intelligent, and achingly poignant. As evidenced by The Book of Joe's success in both the foreign and movie markets, Jonathan Tropper has created a compelling, incredibly resonant story.
From the Hardcover edition.

Summary: "Bizzaro Pleasantville"
I loved this book, but you'll need to bear with me for a few moments while I set the stage for my review.
The movie Pleasantville (starring a very young Tobie Maguire and Reese Witherspoon, and totally worth watching) depicted a clean cut town where everyone got along, and no crisis was ever so complex that it took more than 22 minutes to solve. In "The Book of Joe" there's also a town depicted, but this town isn't a wholesome burg where everyone likes everyone else. This town is riddled with paranoia, bigots, and bullies, and somehow Tropper has crafted a humorous book detailing the return to the town of Joe Guffman, who wrote a scathing fictional book about the town.
There are many great moments in this book, and a lot of laughs considering there is so much death present in the pages. The pages flew by, and I stayed up well past my goal of midnight bedtime. I will be recommending this book to many of my friends and a lot of people in my family.
If you like Tom Perrota, you'll like this.

Summary: "Emotional Truths Worth Reading"
I read this book after This Is Where I Leave You, his latest book which is now in paperback. This is not as hilarious or mind boggling but I can feel Tropper's cadence and his energized creativity in this earlier novel. Based on Joe Goffman's return to his hometown after seventeen years, Joe drifts in and out of his recollections trying to determine what was real in his youth or which scenario was how he wanted events to happen. He travels to Bush Falls because his father suffered a stroke but Joe also returns as very successful novelist who based his book on the town and its people.
The center of the town's pride is the Cougars, a high school basketball team which gives the town its purpose. A Cougar is revered and if one should denigrate a Cougar, he is punished with isolation and/or physical harm. And Joe did malign the Cougars, Coach Dugan and many players in his book. Joe's book was also sold for the movie rights and besides disparaging the town, Joe is now wealthy. Joe was a lonely kid who had two good friends (who were gay) and we read all about them and their influence on his life as an adult. The town detests him for uncovering some truths but also for damaging their pride. There is depth to the story and I liked it. However, if I compare to This Is Where I Leave You, The Book of Joe represents Tropper's "almost there" magnificent writing.

Summary: "Quick read"
I read this on vacation in 2 days, very entertaining. Parts were hysterically funny, some a little depressing, but overall a book that you always want to pick up and finish. Would highly recommend it.

Summary: "Perfectly Enjoyable."
Troppers themes of returning to a childhood home, rekindling a past love, and finding yourself are all present in this earlier book that almost seems to be sowing seeds for what would later become the excellent 'This is Where I Leave You'. Joe Goffman writes a bestselling novel ala Peyton Place that is turned into a blockbuster motion picture smash, that manages to trash half the town. Now, seventeen years later he's returning to the scene of the crime after his father has a stroke. Shifting between his teenage years in the eighties and the present, the alienated writer attempts to piece together what had happened in the past,to what's become of everyone in the present. The book to me, doesn't quite have the finesse of his latest book, but Tropper is a talented writer who has a knack for creating charming, likable characters that are both relatable and winning.

Summary: "What a dreadful book."
Because this book was compared here on amazon to an outstanding novel I read & loved several years ago, (An Underachiever's Diary by Benjamin Anastas), I went ahead and ordered it based on that comparison, rather than reading a truly noteworthy review in, say, the New York Times Book Review. Never again. What a piece of tripe. Not only was it badly written -- filled with inarticulate, uninteresting & superficial characters with drab, unimaginative dialogue -- but the "plot" was pointless, simplistic, & inane. Any attempt at humor was puerile & stale. I really tried to give it a chance -- I kept thinking, "It'll get better," but it didn't. I had to stop reading it less than a third of the way through. Even if one were to categorize this as a "coming of age" story for teenage boys, I would NEVER recommend it to ANY kid I know. And it is supposed to be a book for adults! Don't bother with this hackneyed novel. I cannot imagine how it ever got published. I threw it away. I would have been embarrassed to give it away to a library or thrift shop, lest anybody think I would ever choose to read such a piece of rubbish.
