What a bummer...I'm giving up on this one. I read and loved Udall's The Lonely Polygamist several years ago and knew he had written this first. Our library never had a copy but I happened to stumble upon it at a used book sale. It rested on my to-be-read shelf for a long time and I kept wanting to read it. Finally picked it up. Sadly, I'm not going to finish it. There's nothing exactly wrong with it, it is just not engaging me.
It's an endless (or perhaps, more kindly, picaresque) tale of a young boy in all kinds of unusual circumstances. Edgar's voice shifts, seemingly at random, from first person to third and I found that sort of odd. I'm sure there's a point to it and all other things being equal, it probably wouldn't have bothered me. But I'm ready to move on.
