Review: Not a bad book
Rating: 4 out of 5

I didn't give this book 5 stars because the writing isn't the best; it suffers from our being told what the characters are thinking and saying rather than using dialogue to allow the readers to participate in the story and figure out the characters by themselves. That's the old writer rule: don't tell them, show them. Otherwise it's a great story.One reviewer was offended because of "bad language." Jeez, if anything, it's realistic language and pretty darn calm. The only words I could find in the whole book that someone who is really uptight might get anal about is a couple of "damns," and one "shit.' The dialogue would be pretty unrealistic without them.
