By Tim Ahern Ron McAdow's Ike draws the reader into a constellation of human interrelationships that acquire layers of humor and deeper meaning as it proceeds. McAdow's style shares something with that of Haruki Murakami, succeeding as it does in getting us to inhabit the inner lives of the characters as they go through their daily routines while encountering surprises along the way. There is a genuine likability to them, which is probably a reflection of McAdow himself.

I feel as if I’ve actually met each character personally as McAdow reveals such clear images. There are moments of touching vulnerability, and disarming honesty for Ike and his struggles. I have a genuine affection for him and his story.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I Like Ike By Mark H. Pendergrast I don’t read fiction all that often, mostly because I don’t like the characters. Too many modern novels feature severely dysfunction people who are so unhappy (and often so screwed up and nasty) that I don’t want to read about them. So it was a pleasurable surprise to find IKE, by Ron McAdow, in which almost all of the characters are sympathetic, likable if quirky and fallible people. Ike, the protagonist, is married to Helen, a beautiful, free-spirited woman a bit older than he is. Ike becomes a friend and mentor to Sean and Denver, his stepsons. Over the course of the novel, Ike, a television talk show host, loses his job and slowly realizes that he is unhappy in his marriage. Then he discovers that Helen has been unfaithful, and at novel’s end he enters a new relationship. Happy ending.There is no high drama or much of a plot. It's just about a nice guy who got himself into a marriage that didn't work out. In this regard he is not unlike many others, of course. Ron McAdow is really good at writing dialogue, however, capturing everyday banter very well. Here, at random, is a segment in which Ike is visiting his parents along with his sister Kate and her dog Fievel. His parents are playing gin rummy while Kate looks at old family albums:“Fievel! Want to see me on my first day of kindergarten?” He started across the room toward the sofa.“Don’t let him drool on those photographs,” my father warned from the dining room table.“Hear that, Fievel?” Kate asked. She pushed the album toward me to make more room on her lap for the dog. “No drooling! He hardly ever drools any more, Daddy. I think that’s something his yoga has really helped with.”“Kate, do you make that dog do yoga?” my mother asked. She had little patience with Kate’s ditziness.“Mom, do you remember where we got this bunny blouse I wore to kindergarten. God it was cute. I wonder if it’s still up there.” She and Fievel dashed up the stairs.“Did you know she has that dog do yoga?” my mother asked my father.“Fievel shares Kate’s interests,” he said, in a tone of pleasant insincerity. “It seems natural enough to me.”“There’s nothing natural about it. I knock with two.”“Ouch,” my father said.I hope to write fiction myself at some point. So far, I’ve written nonfiction books such as Uncommon Grounds, the history of coffee. (See www.markpendergrast.com). I hope I can pull off this simple but realistic kind of dialogue and scenario.
