Liz CA Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I started it and like it...but I am wondering if pretty soon I will run into some horror, like r@&e, murder or else. I don't have the intestinal fortitude at the moment. I want some easy reading, suspenseful is fine but no horrific events that will stick in my memory for some time to come. Am I okay or should I stop reading right now? I am only at the part where Jeremiah and Reuben attend a sort of revival meeting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSurprise Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 There are some sad things, but nothing really horrific. The family will be torn apart. They're going to lose someone. The narrator is pretty positive though, and it doesn't feel like a bummer (even during the sad parts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 No. It is perfect. There is a subtle bit of, shall we say, boys trying to have their way with a girl that is really at the heart of the story, but it is so subtle that you will have to go back and re-read to make sure that is what happened. You may be past that already--it is the reason the brother runs. There is one character who is killed late in the book and does not deserve it, but it is not gory.
