So we were now faced with Darin Strauss’ third novel, More Than It Hurts You. So would it perform more like the first book or more like the second? In our buying decision we tried to take the middle ground and came up with a compromise number. But now we have some real data and it looks like this book is working. This novel is about a child in jeopardy and a marriage under strain. Darin Strauss is one those authors, unfailingly intelligent, who comes up with a fresh approach each time he tells a story.
