Negative Positive
Title: Quick read, believable, mildly gratifying
Review: This book reads quickly. It would be good for reading on an airplane. The story is extremely believable but there were few surprises and little character depth. Several scenes do stick in my mind: the girl and the two guys, the kidnapping of the two boys, and the autopsy of the horse. However, these were insufficient to make this book a great read. I compare this book to Barbara Kingsolver's or T. Coraghessan Boyle's or Comac McCathy's and it falls short. Those writers are better (at least based upon this one book).
