so-soI stayed up way too late last night to finish a book that was between so-so and pan. It felt like I needed to finish it just to get it done and over with. When Scheuring writes the letters from the GIs he shows that he does know how to write complete, complex sentences whose meaning is clear. But when he writes Lily, Wes, Bruce, it's in jibs and jabs without punctuation that would give a clue as to who said or did whatever is said and done. 👇🏻
Lcsmcat I got through the graphic horrors of war and torture by shutting down my imagination and I probably finished it so I could close it and those wouldn't haunt me. But the underlying motivation for the long sought grandfather's behavior was not believably strong, and much of it felt like the author struggling with his own loss of faith or belief in anything beyond himself. I got it as a free eBook, and it was worth what I paid. 7y
