I loved The Sparrow. I was just thinking the other day that I ought to re-read it.
I think possibly my problem with memoris was that, by and large, the discounted books brought to my old workplace by The Book People were the remaindered and the unsellable. Which probably means I've read a self-selecting sample of the less successful (and therfore possibly less well-written) ones. They might well have been trying for redemption and human spirit, but I think they missed the bus.
