Negative Positive
Title: Never rang true
Review: I started out with high expectations for this book, but after so many terrible things happened, it was just too much. I feel the book really lost credibility with the "hog's head" bit. Using the complete head of the hog for food was (and still is)normal -- any poor rural person would understand this -- the author apparently never heard of headcheese or jowl. The ending was just too trite. The book seemed to be a poorly written narrative about domestic violence without understanding the motivesof the characters.
Is the review positive or negative?
