Query: Now I lay me down to sleep

I am continually puzzled by the publishing industry's "prizes." This book takes up an astonishing amount of shelf space in book stores. Cover to cover there is nothing in it. It is like reading a cut and paste book. The characters are thin, flavorless, cliched, sleep-inducing. The same with the dialogue. I am still trying to determine what the author's purpose was, unless it was to bore us to tears (those would be the only tears shed). I felt like it was written by an automaton, someone who does not care about the craft of writing but thinks she is precious. There is no strength to the story or the sentences. I actually felt insulted by this drivel.Read The Deptford Trilogy, by Robertson Davies. Now there is a circus story you won't forget.
