Query: DON'T BOTHER WITH THE BRIDGE

This is a trite piece of fiction, not worth the price of the hardcover or the time it took to slug through it. Vitriolic, persecuted Pick Cantrell is not a narrator to be trusted or admired: he's too myopically self-absorbed to teach us anything of value, and his story is predictable pulp. The dust jacket promises big doings, but this is a mean spirited, tacky little memoir dressed up as a socially relevant historical fiction. Particularly in this climate of pointless attack and destruction, it seems one more hateful affront on our sensibilities. We need stories of redemption and healing, but although this book purports to be just that, I found it disturbingly devoid of compassion and insight. It's a bridge from nothing to nothing. Don't waste your time.
