Review of 'Seldom Disappointed' on 'Goodreads'

Somewhat disappointing. The consensus was that a very nice guy wrote a flat, boring book. Part of that flatness might have been intentional. Hillerman was very much a man of his generation and didn't discuss his emotions, so we got no inkling of what he was feeling, say, when his beloved older brother died suddenly. He did write, vividly, about WWII however, but his life after the war all seemed to run together, as if he was writing only out of a sense of duty. Saving, of course, when he talked about his wife.
