Raney

Summary: offensive
Review: While every characer in this book (including Raney and Charles) rubbed me the wrong way, Edgerton's beautiful use of local color and regional dialect in the end was his saving grace--because of that I remain a loyal fan to his work.

I felt the book was disorganized and inconclusive in terms of character development and plot structure. The characters do not evolve throughout the story, although the issues that plague them are significant and deserve more attention than they are given.

I hated the feeling that I was being left out to dangle in the end. I was unable to determine whether to feel happy for the couple, or angry at the fact they were still together without resolving any of their problems.
