The best thing I can say about this book is God love the author for giving it a go. That said, I now know why it was a self-published book. I finally gave up after a hundred pages. There was so little depth to any of the characters that I couldn't keep them straight... They all seemed to just be drunk and hopping in and out of bed with each other, then going to the church to eat. There wasn't any character development or background -- It was simply a chronicle of "and then this, and then this, and then this...." Maybe 100 pages wasn't enough to give it a chance, but I finally couldn't take it anymore.

Amended to Add: Our book club, who read this book as this month's selection, discussed the book tonight. Several other members didn't bother to finish the book either, but the ones who did agreed that it didn't get any better. It was a thumbs down from every member in the group.
