Query: Leaves a "vinegar" taste in your mouth

I really didn't enjoy this book. It was well written, but certainly left me in a rather dismal mood when I finished it. I guess I couldn't see a point to the pessimism in the story, or at least a good reason why I should have read something that left me feeling so bleak. A good book doesn't always require a fairytale ending, but Vinegar Hill left me with such a "yuk" feeling I really did regret having read it. Perhaps I was not in the right mood, or I missed something? Either way, I wouldn't recommend this one to friends.
