Query: A Texan view

Mr. Craven should be "commended" upon his novel. He has elevated the eastern way of life to appear much more civilized and thus superior to the "Texan" way. The Texas characters in the book are portrayed as backward and borderline barbaric. Jason, on the other hand seems to be much more enlightened and cultured. I supposed upon finishing the book, I was to be ashamed of my home state, but rather I was more ashamed of Mr. Craven's portrayal of us Texans in the book. If he thinks so much of the Far East and their culture, maybe he should leave Texas and go there to live there instead. On the other hand, once I get past the hurt feelings, the novel did hold my interest and was full of action. I kept reading to find out who really was harassing Sybil, and what would finally transpire between Lint and Angela.
