Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin

[Note at 25% read]  So far, the book isn't drawing me in too much.  It's moving slowly because the author spends a lot of time giving details which aren't relevant.  However, I do like how the story switches back and forth between the current day and the past when the two main characters were kids.

The best thing about this book is the theme which is that a lack of courage to do the right thing can greatly affect other people to the point of ruining their lives.  The book was slow until this theme was revealed, but after that point it was enjoyable.

The book also did a nice job of getting into the two main characters which were flawed but likeable.  However, the author continued to give details which weren't relevant to the story line and which slowed down the narrative.
