Title: Just too boring
Product review: I had high hopes for this book. I really did. It had gotten great reviews, and I had recently read The Help, which is also about race relations and that kind of thing, and is in my Top 5 of all time. I loved the interactions between The Help characters, and the character and story development, the pacing of the book, etc.Freshwater Road could not have been more different. Talk about plodding along. I realized at one point, characters had not spoken to each other in 30 or so pages. Just page after page describing the heat and bugs and sweat....Why no closure to the Sissy story ? I also didn't get how Celeste mentally accused Mr. Tucker of molesting and murdering Sissy. Just because someone is opposed to Freedom School, and I gather a lot of local people were opposed to it, doesn't mean the person is a pedophile and murderer.I had to force myself to finish this.
