The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley by Hannah Tinti
***DNF***
Don't be discouraged, the writing is very good and I will read more from this author. The reason I didn't finish is because I don't like Samuel Hawley as a character so I don't want to dedicate more time to finding out about the rest of his twelve lives. The three or four lives I've already read about seem to me to be a direct result of his actions and choices so it's not all that remarkable or interesting. I do enjoy the chapters with his daughter, she seems like a good kid despite how she's grown up moving around with Sam; but her chapters are fewer and farther between. Perhaps one day I'll get curious enough to go back to this and finish it just to see what happens with the daughter and what, if anything, finally takes Sam down, but right now is not that time.
