Maybe it is because I am not from the south but I did not enjoy this book. I thought it was plodding and rather pointless. It is a coming of age story about a girl from rural Florida. She seems to have little or no parental supervision. I personally did not think that she displayed a lot of common sense. I know that his sounds judgmental but this book went nowhere for me. I doubt that I ever read another by this author. I would never compare this to "To Kill A Mockingbird." "The Book Thief" and "Kite Runner" are way, way better books and coming of age stories.
