3.0

Alternating between two different perspectives: one is a woman waiting for her husband, on a trip for water, and two older sons, unexpectedly gone, to come home; the other is an outlaw on a camel. The outlaw's story was more interesting to me as it played out over the course of his life, while the woman's storyline took place in one day, with many flashbacks to fill you in on her life story, but ultimately left you feeling like nothing was happening.

This had a slow start and a very wordy writing style which failed to catch my interest. I kept reading because I'd heard there was the most perfect ending ever to a story. While the ending was good, it was overhyped.
