I wish I hadn't bothered with this... I was expecting something humorous and interesting, and from day one I was a little taken aback by some of the dialect, let alone the dark overtones of the whole thing. (I *live* in the South. 'Ya'll' is *not* something you say to *one* person alone...) Having just finished it a few hours ago, I now feel a bit on the depressed side, and wish I'd spent my week on something better. If you're looking for something light-hearted, look elsewhere.
