Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Sorry, but I do not know what all the rave reviews are about. I found this book to be almost impossible to finish, but finish it I did. Waaaay too much religious stuff for my taste. I did plod thru this tho, because of all the rave reviews, and I figured I would find what everybody was raving about. Sadly, but I did not. I could not pinpoint any specific story line. It seemed to be about an emotionally abusive father now facing his mortality, and regretting the way he treated his son. Nevermind that he also didn't treat his two daughters much better, but the SON, oh yes, the SON. Typical religious thinking, the SON is the most important, the SON is the only one, the SON, the SON, the SON; thank the MALE gods that I have a SON. Yes I mistreated my children, but I mostly regret mistreating my SON. If you're religious and think the men are appointed by whatever 'god' is, then this is a good book for you. Me, forget it.
