Title: [Spoilers] Reading this is like being dragged through sludge
Review: ....then suddenly hosed off and set out in the sun. This is a profoundly depressing story with an unbelievably happy ending.Lots of unexplained changes of character in the characters. Why did such an apparently ideal father and all-around nice guy suddenly banish his beloved daughter from his home and life? Why did such a caring mother let him do it? How did a highly focused, introverted, antisocial boy-genuis become a therapist and loving family man? It seems like there might be several missing chapters in this story.I will give the author credit for developing a wonderful sense of place. I felt like I knew that farm, and the selling and leaving of it was believable enough.Every time I read one of JCO's novels, I promise myself never to do it again. And I've done it again!
Is the review positive or negative?
