Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

About half-way through this book, I stopped reading as someone interested in the story and began reading as an editor should have. "Cora made a canvass of the village." (Definition of Canvass: solicit votes or discuss thoroughly.) Incomplete sentences abound. Paragraphs introduced by pronouns." "The sounds that came from his body made the labor fly." WHAT? Sounds made labor "fly?" I have several pages of examples of Whitehead's poor writing. "Cora looked at him. Burr-headed and red-eyed." Who was burr-headed and red-eyed? (I know, and so do you, but it is not clear, clean writing.) "In those days he patrolled with a black umbrella but eventually surrendered and now his white blouses were stark against his tanned flesh." (Surrendered his umbrella? Which had obscured his white blouses?) I am astonished that this won the Pulitzer. It's an insult to writers who strive to craft a well-written piece of work. Two thumbs and all fingers down on this one.
