YES, yes very much so. (It's funny because while in my head while I write I work very very hard to make the words sound good together, I very rarely read my stuff aloud, because it feels awkward and embarrassing, even if it flows beautifully.) And I was very fond of Bod, in all his childness.

I mean like I know we're supposed to care about the plight of ranch workers in the 30s but WHY DOES THAT BOOKS HAVE TO BE ABOUT NOTHING GOOD.

It's just very wishy-washy! And I've since done some reading of reviews by other people and interviews about the book and stuff, and it's like, atheists reject it because it's supposed to make them believe in God but the story is really just muddled nonsense, like faith, and then I reject it because it really is just muddled nonsense, like someone who doesn't actually understand what faith is about. Urk.
