The Writing Class by Jincy Willett
1.0
This is a terrible book...undoubtedly, one of the worst I have ever read! I was so disappointed because I loved Willett's "Winner of the National Book Award", but this wasn't anywhere near that level of talent.
The plot is ridiculous and slow, the characters are pretty paper-thin, and the mystery at the heart of the novel is the only thing that kept me reading. When the reveal does occur, it's like all of the remaining air goes out of the novel and you just want to throw it in the trash.
The other odd thing about the whole thing is that some of the characters seem like they are completely out of touch with modern technology. Granted, this was published seven years ago, but it still seems like a bit of a stretch that a person living in San Diego county wouldn't know about JPEGs, especially since they know how to operate a blog.
What a bust!
