The cover copy is misleading. The novel may have been more enjoyable had it not been billed incorrectly. I just wanted to let you know, that I felt exactly the same way.

One of the things that I was trying to do in this book was write something where the author had to show everything; no telling allowed. So if you want to reveal something about a character, you have to do it by, say, showing how he cooks dinner. And it's a style you either love or you don't. I'm hearing more of the former than the latter, but I know that it won't be for everyone. If you want to read something that's totally opposite, IN HIGH PLACES (finalist for a 2008 Christy) is just that: a first-person POV throughout. Maybe I can vindicate myself with you -- hope I can!

They're so insightful and honest. I'm really interested in point of view issues lately, though--so it almost makes me want to take a look at this book and study the problems you found.
