Title: Not worth the time
Review: Looking for a great summer read? This book is not it. Packer's characters are lackluster at best. There's little to like about any of them. They have little depth, are wooden and remote, like they aren't really in the story, just sort of hovering around the edges of the plot. And, just when you think there might be an interesting story line developing, it slips away. This book is not clever, compelling or intriging. I kept reading,hoping the story would deliver in the end, but it never happened.Don't let the book reviewers fool you. There is nothing satisfying about this novel. Reread anything by Annie Proulx instead.
