Long winded and slow moving with no discernable point or ending to this book. I thought rather the same thing about Myla Goldberg's other book: Bee Season. I should have saved myself the trouble.

You know how annoying it is when you are telling a story and someone else keeps butting in with details that aren't even relevant to the main point of your tale? Unfortunately, that butter-inner wrote "Wickett's Remedy." This book literally has "comments" printed in the margins, and they are very distracting. You can choose to read the text of a chapter, and then follow up on the comments, or to read the comments as they occur, and then try to re-find the train of the original passage. Very irritating. Not worth the effort.
