Review title: Yawn ... this book put me to sleep!
Product review: I had the bad luck to be stuck on a 5-hour flight with only this book. All I can say is that is was one of the better sleep aids I have tried. Acording to the summary in the jacket, it was supposed to chronicle the lives of some of the people who were devastated by the South Fork flood in 1889.What the blurbs and reviews fail to mention is that the flood doesn't actually happen until the last few pages of the book. Leading up to the flood, the reader is dragged through a few hundred pages of vapid, shallow anecdotes of the lead characters' lives, which are at best difficult to follow and at worst utterly mind-numbing.I forced myself to finish it for lack of anything better to do, but would not recommend it to any but the most starved for diversion.And, by the way, I am a native Pennsylvanian, so I really expected better. Unless you are really in the mood to yawn, save your money and borrow this dog from the library!
