Whew. Very glad to be done with this one. From the very first page I knew it was going to be a slog and the ONLY reason I finished it was because it was a gifted copy from a beloved press. But I know they wish they didn’t give this to me because I didn’t like it at all. 

This had a lot of potential but it really overwhelmed me with everything that was going on. I was also put off by the passing stereotyping of dumb Americans from the South. I know the author tried to flip it on its head a bit but I didn’t care for it. 

I thought the premise was interesting but the execution actually left me wanting less.
