Title: Shotty first attempt
Review: Waiting to finish this short audio book was torturous. Catherine Tauber narrates this story as if she were a bored 10th grader whose English teacher just called on her to read to the class. Not helping her is the undeveloped, disjointed, oft-times cliche-ridden story that Jackson has written. The story wasn't plausible, (a girl can't kill someone with one crack on the head with a bottle), her characters are as shallow as a papercut (Aunt Flo does nothing but scream, Burr's character is written as if he were a woman and Clarise is too sickening sweet). Additionally, there is an entire chapter dedicated to car games that Burr and Arlene play on their trip to Alabama.This isn't entertainment. This isn't Southern literature at its best. This is a quickie novel that Ms. Jackson probably penned in under two months and someone accidently green-lighted without a proper edit job.
