“God, this book was horrible.The characters were consistent, I'll give them that. But I really didn't care about a single one of them. Or their town. Or their damnable store. True, the characters were well drawn, but they were completely one-dimensional, predictable, and unlikeable. Russo captured a town in stagnation, and along with the population, my interest stagnated after paragraph one. I hope the rest of his books aren't this boring.”
“Amen, sister!”
