The Book of Hard Things
This is a paint-by-numbers tale of a small-town boy who begins to see beyond his limited horizons when he comes into contact with a worldly man, visiting his hamlet on a temporary assignment. Lousy and lazy (especially in its depiction of the rural poor), the book feels like it was written with a checklist of basic plot twists, mundane back story to provide the thinnest veneer of characterization, and obligatory self-revelations.
