Query: Shallow

Reading this book was like trying to eat tomato soup with a fork. It was full of "deep thoughts," but devoid of setting or context. Who else could make Californa's beautiful Borrego Springs Desert seem bland and boring? The prose is so spare, we don't really experience the story as we should. It reads like some children's stories, full of wonder, empty of details. As for the cosmology, about seeing one's angel, the author didn't write enough of a narrative to make me care.
