Summary: Skip Over Daugharty's Novels: Boring, Boring, BORING
Review: WHISTLE is flatly unreadable. My book club read Earl in the Yellow Shirt, and not a single member could finish it. As in Whistle, the dialogue was cliched, the characters were one dimensional, the plot shop-worn and predictable. It makes you wonder how bad books get published. I like to give authors a second chance (and I tried with Whistle) but it was dry as Georgia dust.

We won't be reading any Daugharty books in the future and wish someone could have warned us.

Southern fiction has had a tremendous revival; no one should have to be force fed any terrible books. There are too many excellent ones out there.

Review: WHISTLE was such fun to write, I gave it five stars. Also, I wanted to boost its (it's?) status. Janice Daugharty
