So slow. Gave up after a couple of hundred pages waiting for something to happen. My reading time is too valuable to waste turning pages and getting nowhere. Not for me.

The writing is excellent, and I should probably give it four stars, but, oh geesh, is this book dark! It is dark like his other renowned book, "The Other". I still remember that book, though I read it decades ago. I'm afraid, unfortunately, I'm going to remember this one just as long. "Harvest Home" reminds me of a kind of reverse "Stepford Wives".
