It was not a favorite of mine for sure (I much preferred Out Stealing Horses). I would love if you finished it, if only so I could read your review :) Melissa: I am afraid I can’t be very encouraging because the book remains bleak until the end…and rambling and non linear.

Debating whether or not to chalk it up as a DNF.

Guess I'm gonna have to go out to the library. Enjoyed your write up. Thanks, Parrish.

Aarti: It is very bleak....I don't think I was in the right mood for this one. Cass: LOL - thanks! Kathy: You’re welcome.

I would get exhausted by the negative tone and the vagaries. I don’t think this book is for me, either. I would get exhausted by the negative tone and the vagaries.
