Title: BURNING BRIDGES
Review: I like the cartoon, KUDZU, by Doug Marlette, but was deeply disappointed in his first novel, THE BRIDGE. The story of Pick Cantrell's journey to self-knowledge is littered with characters too dim or cartoonish to take seriously, much less care about. Pick, himself, errs on the sociopathic, and seems to deserve the contempt heaped upon him by his adversaries. It's as if the author was searching for a platform to air his numerous grievances, and I feel as if I was hoodwinked into complicity by the over-generous cover blurbs. What parades as truth reads more like the sputtering complaints of a guy at odds with himself and the world. There are far better books out there, and despite the dubious recommendation of Marlette's self-proclaimed "blood brother" Pat Conroy, this is not the best book to come out of the South since "Look Homeward, Angel". "God's Little Acre" might be a better baseline.
