This book is definitely longer than it needs to be. I think part of the problem is that, besides Frank Shallard (who is fascinating and I wish was in the book more), Elmer is really the only character and it gets really repetitive as a result

I can see why this book was so controversial for its time, it's very blunt about how priests are people and they can be assholes who don't fully believe what they're saying sometimes
