Adjustments by Will Willingham -2.5 stars rounded up

[Booknblues]

Inside of Adjustments is a good book waiting to get out. Will Phillips is an insurance adjuster in South Dakota who deeply resents his GPS who has nicknamed Barbara. He purposefully ignores her and often gets lost. He is an interesting and entertaining character and I greatly enjoyed many of his side adventures. Will seems to be haunted by the past and has trouble moving forward.

The book contains an interesting and well developed cast of characters. While this could have been a meaningful and enlightening novel it was bogged down by too many, too lengthy scenes which descend from amusing to tiresome and the same can be said of some of the characters.

The final back story which remained much of a mystery throughout the book could have been better formulated and conceptualized. It was a sad fizzle at the end.

I enjoyed my trips traipsing around the hills and dells of South Dakota, but I was ready to cut my trip short.
