Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There is nothing about this book I like. When reading the reviews it sounded just like something I like to read- a story that covers generations with an interesting story line. But this book is awful. I quickly got tired of the characters speaking such broken English. Long drawn out parts that didn't advance the story. So many characters it was hard to keep up with who was who. Too much talk of the Catholic Church, both good and bad. Too much criticism of religion. . Catholics come off as being very superstitious in ways that are hard to understand. (A scapular being thrown the the ocean would quite the storms). I know this was a story about Catholicism before Vatican Two, but honestly, I can't believe they were that backward. I think the book is offensive.
