Shelves: audiobook

It is hard to explain why this missed that mark for me. It was good writing but, there was so much detail it just droned on, and on, and on, and on. It was boring but, don’t let that dissuade you. If you like dull tedious minutia, with depression (dead/missing sister, raped girls hanging themselves or falling to their deaths, lengthy incarcerations), this could be the book for you.

Feb 20, 2014 Judy rated it it was ok

Shelves: fiction

I actually read only two-thirds of this book. While it moved along pretty well in the beginning, by the middle of the book I had lost interest in the characters. Della seemed so badly damaged that it was impossible to even empathize with her. The plot just stopped moving along.
