A review by idicalini
A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley

3.0

Read for the book club, 3.5 stars. It took me a long time to get interested in it, I felt like the story only started going around half way through. Then I blazed through the second half, and it got so much more dark and twisted. But I probably wouldn't have finished it if I didn't have to for the club. None of the characters really compelled me, I wasn't very interested in finding out more about what happened to them or what had made them this way (although that did change around halfway through). I did like the ending, though.
