Book Reviews of Digging to America
Book Review: A Fair story, a bit boring
Summary: 3 Stars
There are very few authors whose books I will buy as soon as they hit the shelves-- Anne Tyler is one of those. But as I read this book, I kept wondering if she actually wrote the story. Sorry, to think this way since I am a big fan of Ms. Tyler, but the writing just didn't seem to be up to her standards. The scene where the two different families meet for the first time at the airport where they're waiting for the Korean orphans they've adopted to arrive were filled with tedious details that were boring, and the author's step-by-step views of the characters were uninspiring. Overall I was disappointed in this story. I'm still a fan of Anne Tyler and when the time comes around again I'll probably read another story by this great author.
