I know it&#8217;s suppose to be a small town family type of book, but the writing and dialogue just put me to sleep. Here&#8217;s a sample of the kind of dialogue throughout the book: &#8220;Hello, Professor Ferguson. How are you today?&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m fine. Please, call me Jacob. Max and I are going to grab some lunch before he hits the books today. Would you like to join us? &#8220;Thanks, I&#8217;d like that. Would you like to walk in to town?
