I don't know why all the great reviews. I found the story dull, about miserable characters I cared nothing about, in a depressing setting.
The writing was too heavy on uninteresting detail and I could not even get halfway through the book.
Each chapter begins with a new character introduction, which for me is frustrating - just when you get to know one character, you are
jumped to a new one with little or no tie in to the previous introductions. I'm sure eventually they tie together, but I was halfway
through and saw no reason to go on.
Not my type of story, I guess. If you like a story about depressed (and depressing) people living in a small town in Maine, this one is
for you.
