Canada

by Richard Ford

* [1/5]

This book was not good. The author's follows the upheaval in the life of a young boy after his parent's commit a crime. The book jacket tells this much about the story, but the author drags out the preliminary section for a third of the book. I was hoping it would become more interesting at this point, when the boy travels to Canada and starts a new life. The authors introduces new characters, develops them a bit and then they never re-enter the story. He seems to toss in some disturbing elements and then leaves them un-linked the the overall story.

Don't read it, trash.
