Query: ---> A Bitter Disappointment

I did not have sky high hopes for this book. I've been through that and knew better. My hopes were moderate. Even so, they were dashed. I realize that the minimalist approach the author took was meant to create a haunting atmosphere and it did work, but there was SO MUCH MORE he could have done with the 'story'. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen. Heck, I kept waiting for ANYTHING to happen. Unfortunately, the entire book can be summed up as follows;We have to keep walking.Okay Papa.We should eat.Okay Papa.Okay.And that's what passes for a 'great book' now in our TV, WalMart, McDonald's culture.
