Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This novel was not well written and I almost gave up four times. I did not think that people in Colorado spoke like Texans, but even if they do, having them say y'know, young feller, and drop the endings of their words constantly is very distracting. The dialogue is what the author struggles most with! He uses unnecessary exclamation points! In every paragraph! After giving a woman he has known for A DAY a thousand dollars to decorate a guest room in his house for her daughter, the protagonist says he likes to 'take things slow.' I laughed out loud. I have no idea what all of these positive reviews are talking about. True, there was no sex and very little language, but also little action and even less sense. Save yourself!
