Title: Skip Over Daugharty's Novels: Boring, Boring, BORING
Review: WHISTLE is flatly unreadable. My book club read Earl in the Yellow Shirt, and not a single member could finish it. As in Whistle, the dialogue was cliched, the characters were one dimensional, the plot shop-worn and predictable. It makes you wonder how bad books get published. I like to give authors a second chance (and I tried with Whistle) but it was dry as Georgia dust.We won't be reading any Daugharty books in the future and wish someone could have warned us.Southern fiction has had a tremendous revival; no one should have to be force fed any terrible books. There are too many excellent ones out there.
