Review title: A Disappointment
Product review: I really wanted to love this memoir. I had heard so much about it and being from that area, felt that I would have an inside track to Karr's psyche. However, I found the writing style to be tedious and due to the darkness of the story, I was more than able to put the book away for a rest.There's no doubt that Karr's descriptive writing is excellent, it just didn't reel me in as I hoped. I also wondered why she used a fictitious name for the town she grew up in? All the surrounding areas kept their names and caused me confusion in the beginning of where is this action all taking place anyway? Apparently, the used book I received from Amazon from another reader felt the same. I found it odd with notations in the corners and grammatical corrections throughout with endless questions of "what's the point here?" scrawled in between text type.My hat's off to Ms. Karr for surviving such a childhood.
