Query: Disappointed!

I was so looking forward to reading this...but I'm glad I borrowed rather than bought it! I wonder if Haruf felt that he needed to publish something to keep his name out there. Although it was worth reading, it wasn't worth taking the time to read slowly and savor. Very predictable in most cases, and I think that the characters were more stereotypes than people I wanted to know, help or fell sorry for. A visit to a small town, it certainly was: how fast can I pass through and go home. I have read all his books and this is the first that I felt I wouldn't recommend to anyone.Plainsong made me want to move there, to invest time in the character...not so this one.I give it some credit, because it was written literately, with good use of language. It was well edited...no glaring typos to trip over. But, sorry amazon, get it from the library or borrow your friend's copy.
