Title: HUMBOLDT is HO-HUM
Review: This book is barely worth one star. The characters are flat, the plot plods along, the dialog is unnatural, and the description is cliched and predictable ("but that's another story," as the narrator of the book says repeatedly). If you haven't lived in Arcata or don't have some other connection to the place, the book has nothing to offer. Save your money and a tree. Reading something off my summer reading list would have been better than this.
