Well, I completely agree with this. "Housekeeping" a masterpiece, "Gilead" an interesting look at the character of a good man and his community, "Home" a boring annotation of "Gilead." Somehow, her novels have gotten consistently less good. I think she needs to get away from preaching and get back to simply showing and letting the reader draw her own conclusions. That's what she did so brilliantly in the first one.
