Title: What's are the reviewers seeing that I'm missing?
Review: Larry Brown, the book jacket "blurb" reviewer, claims that this book reminds him of Faulkner and Garcia Marquez. Huh? The comparison defames both writers, as this is a highly forgettable book without much passion, direction, or distinction. It is one of those books that tries so hard to be special that you can see through the attempt, and the effort ends up looking sad ...
