Title: A beautifully written book about revolting people
Product review: 5 stars for an outstanding book, but just one star for being a pleasant read. The characters were convincing but totally unlikeable -- self-indulgent, self-destructive, sordid, and degenerate.The setting -- 1950s Knoxville -- was also very well-done, but again unappealing.I read about halfway through this book mainly to get a feel for my hometown in the 50s. Finally I gave up -- I just didn't want to be around any of the characters any more.If you like this sort of thing, you'll love this book -- it is very well-written. It's just not my taste.
