Query: Mr. Kidder you have written better!!

I loved Mr. Kidder's book entitled Among SchoolChildren and Old Friends. He captures the classroom perfectly and two friends in a nursing home with great depth of emotion. However, I would not even believe that Hometown was written by the same man!!! He has too many characters in this book and his plot jumps from one thing to another in order to give us a bird's eye view of small town life. I grew up in a small town and thought I would really enjoy his latest effort. Instead, I found it a real effort to get to the conclusion of the book. I was so glad when it was done!!! I would not even give this book to my worst enemy. I wish I could get my money back!!
