Query: Sorry, but I don't think it merits more than 2 stars...

This book is sad and hopeless. The entire tone is about death and dying and the unhappy people surrounding it. The character Darl is interesting, and Faulker's unique conveying of the story from different viewpoints as the book unfolds is what I feel is what makes for the sensational reviews. Although I understand many find this a work of literary genius, I don't feel it merits that much enthusiasm. This is essentially a unhappy story about sad people transporting a dead woman's body across a broken society. It does have it's creative points, but a reader looking for a good story to invest their time in reading would find better stories elsewhere.
