Linda Hogan

People of the Whale: A Novel
$14.95
I LOVE all of Linda Hogan's other books. She is my favorite author. I love her so much that I won't even let my bookclub select any of her books as one of our monthly picks, lest one of our members besmirch her name in some way or offer a criticism of her. However, I'm very disappointed in People of the Whale. The premise of the story is great, but I think she does a poor job of telling it. The writing seems lazy and careless to me, almost like she didn't care much about doing a good job. "There was heated water for him in the winter when the old women filled a tub for him with heated containers of water." Other times it just seems sloppy to me, as when she mistakenly writes "Randall" when the character's name is Russell.

If I had read "Whale" first I wouldn't have read anything else she wrote. I wouldn't recommend it -
