The Poisonwood Bible seemed to me to have a missing character and she's here. But the whole book degenerates into sentimentality, I think.

Nothing here but the usual platitudes.

Liked it while I was reading it, but, again, now that I'm done, it doesn't seem as good. Still, a lot of good stuff there.

I hope I never get famous enough that someone will publish trash like this just because I wrote it. No fear of that! But this is really very bad.
