Title: Expected a lot more!
Review: I expected this book to be great! Tons of great reviews, but I was disappointed. I suppose the writing is beautifully descriptive, and it's nice to learn about what it's like to live in another time in America, but the problem is (and a major one at that!) is that there is not plot to speak of. When I read a novel, I like there to be a story- I want it to go somewhere- and this book just sort of meanders along. As I read it, I just never really cared that much about Jayber or what he thought about the Bible or his town or the girl he loved or the people who lived in the town.
Is the review positive or negative?
