Everything Must Go

I finally finished a book last night. It is called, Everything Must Go by Elizabeth Flock. This is one of those books that I kept reading to find the point. I do not think I ever found the point. It is a story about Henry Powell. Here is a paragraph off of the back of the book:
"To those on the outside, the Powell's are a happy family, but then a devastating accident destroys their fragile facade. When seven year old Henry is blamed for the tragedy, he tries desperately to make his parents happy again."
The author is described as having a masterful attention to detail. I am going to say too much detail. The author went into plenty of detail and did not get to the point. Henry was a star football player, good at academics, gets a scholarship to college, and never reaches his potential. Henry has to drop out of college to help his Dad take care of his Mom. Henry worked for a men's clothing store while he was in college. That became his career.
Henry was a pathetic character. He had one date with a girl that he then became obsessed over. He led an imaginary life as a rock star. He like to pretend he was being interviewed. I have noticed that I do not have much empathy for weak characters. I like the books I read to have main characters with more positive character traits.
I am going to give myself a huge pat on the back for finishing this book. I almost gave this book a 2 because I can always find some positive in a book. That is not going to happen. I am going to be strong and critical. This book was a loser and I am giving it the rating of 1 it deserves. I am also going to keep the review short because I wasted enough of my life on it.
