If you read Our Lady of the Forest by David Guterson, chances are you either loved it or hated it.
Those in favor: Enjoyed the overall tone of the book, including its setting in the Northwest forest. Appreciated the apparent redemption of some characters. Thought it was a complex story about faith. Yay!
Those opposed: Couldn’t invest in the characters—who were painted only in terms of their worst faults, mistakes, and traumatic experiences—and thus not complex. Didn’t enjoy the utter depravity. Thought the storyline was mostly pointless. Nay!
