Clean Living
By PenFriend
This wonderfully well-written and chilling account of the marriage between a suburban couple in the mid-century is as modern and stark as any contemporary novel. April and Frank Wheeler come together as a golden couple, good looking but turgid Frank whose imagination is entirely given to self observation, vanity and control. He can love and does but with the conventional dictum of the time,' He has his pretensions to be destined for greater as does the brittle and lovely April.April is a failed actress, or rather an actress that never really tried because she became pregnant with Frank's child. Her initial panicked desire to abort is never consummated and therefore she and Frank become a couple they never wanted to be. Pretentious, consumerist saddled with two children they don't seem to understand. The children are as confused as the parents; seeking to please but somehow destined to fail.A lot of reviewers seem to state Yates as being humourless, but what is more darkly humorous than Mrs Givings, the quintessence of middle American 'niceness' who drags her unattractive and bluntly raving mad son into the midst of the Wheeler's parlour games.Possibly schizophrenic, Givings junior detests his mother and is a loose cannon in her presence...He is the lone voice that calls the Wheelers out on their hypocrisy and pretensions, but he is also mad, bad and dangerous.Themes of adultery, domestic violence and duplicity ripple through the pages and just as we think April has calmed down, she starts to peel apart like an onion. Even the Wheelers' staid friends are as phony as they are. Bull headed Shep who is secretly disgusted by his wife's very odour, who lusts after April and his gossipy terrified wife whom he has abused during a drunken episode. One of the few early books where the C word appears and it gives jolt here. Good old Shep is actually lusting after his best friend's wife.We soon see she has no feeling for Frank, or very little. She plays a charade of being a good girl on a daily basis. Efficient and cool, she cuts a beautiful and desirable figure in the book. Some critics have found her unlikable but the clue to her psychology is only explored later in the last few chapters, a past which Frank has skimmed over as willfully as he skims over everything in his customary half-arsed manner.I felt wholly sorry for April, never understood, forever parrying against the attacks and manipulations of Frank. Her beauty gives her little hope, her neuroses are her undoing. She wants freedom but has no idea how to achieve it. The only control she is finally left with is that over her own body when she finally achieved what would have been done in the first place instead of being trapped in a marriage which is as co-dependent as they come.

I seem blind to what excites at least some readers.
By Bluecashmere.
I came to this novel after reading the author’s earlier work, “Disturbing the Peace” which I found a good deal less than enthralling. However, assured that “Revolutionary Road” was a work of altogether higher standing, I took it on in a spirit of optimism. Again I’m sorry to say I felt disappointed. At no point did the book catch fire for me. It deals with middle class suburban East Coast lives in the 1950s, most particularly via the lives of one particular couple, Frank and April Wheeler.For all their attempts to escape the confines of their time and social environment, I found it difficult to feel any depth of involvement with either member of the couple, nor their social associates. In the last analysis they came across to me as shallow and reaching out from very little within themselves.The book has been much acclaimed, interestingly likened to ”The Great Gatsby” another “great American novel” which for me falls significantly short of the plaudits its fans heap upon it. The book may continue to have some historical interest, but I think it unlikely that it will enrapture many in the second millennium.

Hopeless emptiness
By Marand
This isn't what you could call an enjoyable read - the subject matter is too bleak for that, but I thought this was an excellent read. This was a book club choice and received mixed reviews. The book was first published in 1961 and must have been shocking at that time.The main protagonists, April and Frank Wheeler, are outwardly living the American dream in the suburbs. They have a dread of suburban life, viewing most suburbanites as shallow, timid, conventional people but for them "the important thing was to keep from being contaminated". Despite their smug, snobbish sense of superiority over their neighbours, the reality is that they aren't really any different. There is a huge amount of self-deception going on, particularly on the part of Frank. In truth, for all his protestations, it is April who comes across as the more adventurous one: Frank seems to be entirely conventional, increasingly so as the book progresses. Ironically the one who sees best through the lies and hypocrisy is a minor character, the mentally unstable son of the real estate agent who sold them their house.Few, if any, of the characters are likeable, but I thought Frank was particularly loathsome - his smug sense of being 'different', his ability to talk a good talk even though he can't or won't walk the talk, his skills in manipulation, his self-absorption.I loved the writing style - quite cool and spare with convincing dialogue.
