Let me say from the gate that I despise people who leave reviews of books they either haven't read or didn't finish, and although there have been a few I had to abandon, I simply refrained from any review or comment but this one tested my perseverance almost from the beginning. The protagonist of this melodrama is supposedly an uneducated man living in the south and I promised myself I'd keep giving it a try, since it was relatively short, but when this unsophisticated and uneducated man started - at 33% of the book read - using words like "siblings" and "relationship" it lost ALL credibility whatsoever.How the hell anybody could compare this drivel to Harper Lee (altho I confess Mockingbird leaves me cold and not in a good way), Steinbeck or McCullers is totally beyond my ken. Those authors' grocery lists would be more riveting.
