George Jackson (7)

Sort of like Garrison Keillor's Lake Woebegone only set in rural Vermont, but unfortunately nowhere nearly as well written.

I could probably have put up with the problems with punctuation (sadly commonplace nowadays), the terrible editing (or lack thereof), the awful font, the lack of chapters, and perhaps even the misuse of words (using "succeeded" when "seceded" was meant for example), if only there had been a mystery. However the killer is revealed almost immediately so it isn't really a show more mystery and the author doesn't quite get enough tension going to qualify it as a thriller. Conversely, I could have put up with the lack of mystery if the writing and formating had been better. show less

1½ stars.
