I hate to be negative because overall I did not hate this book, but its no masterpiece as some reviews lead you to believe. The story is about a family in Missouri and disjointed events in their lives from about the turn of the century over the course of 40 years or so. No character is developed to any degree, you don't like or dislike any of them. The events are not spectacular in any way, in fact I found the first 250 pages a bit boring. What I did like is the authors writing style that always reminded of a sunny southern summer, even when horrible things were happening in the story. Overall not a waste of time, pleasant enough, but no masterpiece. It benefits from being relatively short (just over 300 pages), any longer and I would not be giving it 3 stars.Get more detail about The Moonflower Vine.
