Dear Jim Harrison,
I'm sorry to say I did not enjoy your novel. I found it quite confusing and while I was able to construct a similar theme throughout the stories I became frusterated with deciphering what was necessary information and what was just ranting. I didn't like that you split up the novel into four parts all narrated by a different character. That was part of the confusion I was experiencing. There seemed to be a lot of pointless storytelling going on that didn't really lead to any conclusive theme or resolution. I figured out that a common theme was letting go. This seemed to be an issue that every character struggled with in some form or another. It was also difficult to understand whether or not the characters overcame their struggle with letting go. There are some characters that appear to have acheived victory over this mental conflict, however, I am still unsure. So basically, your novel has left me in a state of confusion and I feel many issues are left unresolved. I wish I could have understood your novel better because I'm sure that would have hightened my opinion of it and I would have greatly enjoyed it.
Sincerely,
Emily
