Query: yuck

I've read other books by Kaye Gibbons and this one can not be counted as one of her best. The sort of stream of concious writing made me want to just get through the book instead of enjoying this highly recommended book. Each page made me cringe as I made myself read paragraph after paragraph. I can't believe that Oprah has such bad taste in books.
