a load of boring friendless characters who don't want who wants them. are we supposed to think lucille is interesting? come-on, she's a teenager---interesting to herself maybe.
i can't believe 500gbbw and wtr recommended this. i guess my fiction reading taste is bizarre or something. ( )

This is an easily forgotten book that blends in with other "literary fiction" if you've read a great deal, or even some, southern literature. The characters, for the most part, are either flat or uninteresting, and the plot leaves something to be desired. In general, I just wanted more of some aspect to really keep me interested. It wasn't bad, but there was nothing there for me to find really worthwhile either. ( )
