How To Sell (27)

How To Sell
By Clancy martin
Read 9/15/09

This was an odd and confusing book. The story takes place over about 20 years and starts with a teen moving from Canada to Texas to join his older brother who is doing well in the jewelry business. There is a host of characters in and the business always seem slightly shady in a way that is hinted at but never explained. The brothers move on to run their own store, and have flashbacks to other problems in the past . As well as a father who is mentally unbalanced, but living the life of a preacher. The book always seems to be going somewhere, but never quite arrives. There are relationships and stories but you are never sure where it is going, or where you were once it was over. An odd book that was largely a waste of time.
