PositiveThe New York Times Book Review...the humor is essentially benign, genial, and it works in service of the characters. Sully in particular emerges as one of the most credible and engaging heroes in recent American fiction. At times, however, this sequel feels unfocused, the plot drifts and the tenor of that humor verges dangerously close to that of the sitcom, especially in the scenes between Sully and Rub, and those involving Charice’s brother, Jerome, and Raymer...Nonetheless, taken together, at over 1,000 pages, the two Fool books represent an enormous achievement, creating a world as richly detailed as the one we step into each day of our lives.
