ninetalevixen 's review for:
Salvage the Bones
by Jesmyn Ward
(Read for my "Intro to 21st Century Literature" class.)
I really wish I could've DNF'd this, because it was absolutely not for me. While it's loaded with the exact right kind of allusion, metaphor, and symbolism to make it a good discussion topic for an English/literature class, I totally failed to develop an emotional attachment to any of the characters at any point in the story.
