Didactylos reviewed Wayfaring Stranger by James Lee Burke
Review of 'Wayfaring Stranger' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Very disappointed. I was looking forward to reading this as it had strong reviews. It just did not work for me. It did not seem to have a proper focus and although some parts are as elegiac as other novels I ended up really not bothered about the characters. Too broad a brush with too much irrelevant detail and too many characters which just dip in and out. Perhaps if I was American I'd like it more, but for me it lacked the tightness of plotting and structure of most of his other books.
