Query: PLEASE read Shipping News instead!

I picked up this book because I was so impressed and entranced with the Shipping News... I was sorely disappointed. Everything I enjoyed about the Shipping News (the lovely flow, the fully realized characters whom you grew to care about, the simple and clear vision) was missing from this novel. It felt fragmented, confusing, muddled... and I had no sympathy with the characters because they seemed rather one dimensional. I would hate for people to neglect reading the wonderful Shipping News because of Postcards (or because of the dismal and horribly miscast Shipping News movie - Kevin Spacey as Quoyle! What were they thinking?).
