2.0 out of 5 stars Early Adams novel is disappointing 12 May 2004
By Peter LaPrade - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
"Familes and Survivors" is Alice Adams's second novel, and it shows. The story follows two childhood best friends, and expands to include other couples that they meet along the way. There is a lot of sex happening in the novel. Adultery, and remarriage happen. The characters are flat and boring. The narrator is way too neurotic, and needs a slap to the face.

2.0 out of 5 stars Early Alice Adams book..has promise, but falls flat. 11 May 2004
By Peter LaPrade - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
"Families and Survivors" was Alice Adams's second novel, and it shows. Written in the mid-70s, it shows. The novel follows four couples, but mainly two childhood best friends, and their various love affairs. There is a lot of sex, mostly with the wrong people, as some commit adultery, or sleep with men twice their age. There is also some spouse-swapping(this is a 7os books after all). And the children of the couples also have their stories as well. The characters are not likable, as characters are awfully neurotic. I wanted to like it, and I was ok with its slow pace, but it disappoited me.
