It seems this story has polarized readers. Some love it, while others intensely dislike the book. I fall into the latter camp. I thought I was really going to like it initially, but then the story went way over the top into unbelievability for me. I found myself disliking it more and more as the pages progressed. It's really almost impossible to speak about the issues I had with the book without giving away some huge spoilers, but I will give you a taste of what it's about.
Holland and Pearlie Cook are childhood sweethearts with a son and a dog that doesn't bark. Everything is going along fine until one day Buzz, a man from Holland's past, shows up at the door and changes everything. Set in the 50's and San Francisco.
