A review by leksikality
Blackwater: The Complete Saga by Michael McDowell

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
Ultimately I just couldn't take it anymore. What had started out as a promising Southern Gothic story quickly lost all trace of the Gothic element and became a very tedious Southern soap opera where little happened beyond two of the female characters trying to spite each other and everyone else wringing their hands helplessly while hoping they'd stop.

This is what happens when a book (or books, in this case) isn't properly edited.
