I'm just going to jump right in to this review because......*sigh*.
First of all, this book is only SIX CHAPTERS LONG!?!?! So that's one thing that irked me about this.
Second, Barrett's writing style would barely hit second grade now. It just didn't appeal to me at all, based on the writing style.
Third, the storyline is rather uninteresting and slow. He sure packs a punch in six chapters, but that punch is slow and has no power following from it.
Fourth, the characters are kind of flat and stereotypical. The German nuns are mean, cruel, and not really eager to help Homer. Speaking of Homer: he is an African-American ex-military male who has no place to sleep and no job, but he is very good at manual labor. *sigh*
All in all, this book was not my cup of tea. I hope I didn't offend anyone (either racially or otherwise) in this review. This is simply my opinion.
I would be hesitant to recommend this to anyone, no matter their tastes.
