Title: Disappointing
Review: Of all the great books for Oprah to select, why this one? To discuss a book in the setting of a bookclub there must be something to discuss. In this book there is virtually nothing to discuss. I read this book in about three hours. My nine year old perhaps would have enjoyed it more than I did as it is about at her reading level. Most of Oprah's picks I find to be on the depressing side but after reading "Gap Creek" I felt nothing but anger that I had wasted my money on the book. I knew no more of impoverished lives in turn of the century Appalachia when I finished the book as I did when I began. Truly one of her worst picks to date.
Is the review positive or negative?
