Long Black Veil Failed to Grab Me

I usually stick with a book even if it doesn't grab me. This year, however, I made a reading resolution to put the book down if it didn't hook me by the halfway point. Unfortunately the first book to not make the cut for me was the acclaimed novel, Long Black Veil by Jennifer Finney Boylan.

It sounded like a book I would enjoy. However it never really turned it to what I thought it would be. I was hoping for a thriller but it just ended up being an overly pretentious yawn-fest. Skip it.
