Negative Positive
Title: A slow paced book that never achieves its full potential
Review: Although this book is admirable for its accurate and realistic recreation of turn-of-the-century Kentucky and the vivid characterization of Christie Wheeler, the book ultimately is unsatisfying because it progresses at such a slow pace and only sporadically engages the reader's interest. Furthermore, the book's concluding sections are especially weak. They lack depth, development and seem rather disjointed from the rest of the novel, which is highly detailed and complete.
