Negative Positive
Title: ...
Review: I enjoyed much of the development and history of the main characters. The writing itself is above average. However, the deputy sheriff is so unbelievable that he should be satirized by comedians on Saturday Night Live, or by some anti-establishment hate newspaper. He would have been fired long before he could have brought hurt to anyone. This is a man sworn to uphold the law, yet he manages to plant evidence, be a coward, leave his wife and family for a trashy harlot, and also manages to get the harlot back with substance abuse. Thank goodness for the colonel, and his sense of values and honor, even though contrary to Western standards at times. This book took me almost two weeks to finish, but I figured that... Oprah liked it, maybe there would be a redeeming conclusion. Not so...readers save your money. Before I am called a non-realist about life, I have never come across so many losers in such a short parameter of time and space, and all over a house.
Is the review positive or negative?
