Vinegar Hill by A. Manette Ansay (1998, Paperback, Reissue)

I purchased this book based upon Oprah Winfrey's recommendation, specifically, her book club.

I was very disappointed. I expected a book that was horrifying and gripping, but I found it to be dull and boring. There was no excitement whatsoever. I read the entire book, hoping that it just started out slow, and would get more interesting as I delved deeper into the book. That just wasn't the case. If you are looking for a book written in monotone verbiage, then this may be for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It is simply boring and unexciting. Sorry, Oprah.

I BUY OPRAHS BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS WHEN I RUN ACROSS THEM. USUALLY A PRETTY GOOD BET.

I ENJOYED THIS BOOK AND READ IT IN A COUPLE OF SETTINGS.

IT MADE ME REALIZE MANY TIMES THERE IS A LOT MORE TO SOMEONE THAN WHAT MEETS THE EYE. THIS FAMILY MADE SOME VERY POOR CHOICES ALONG THE WAY.... THANK GOODNESS THE MOTHER FINALLY MAKES SOME CHANGES IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR HER CHILDREN.
