Review title: Disappointment of the Year Product review: The disappointment of the year. Characters and plot were not compelling, convincing or just plain interesting, especially the female characters. For example, the young pre-teen daughter who did not want to eat, or the ex-wife who just lost 50 pounds, the handicapped half-wit in love with the main character, the rich eccentric old woman...I could not for one minute believe any of them existed. Sidebar on the old woman: if I had to read one more sentence of that old bat calling the main character (he was so unremarkable I even forgot his name) "my dear boy" I think I would have gotten sick. I am surprised so many people gave it such high marks...not to mention the Pulitzer prize...? Compared to the past few years of Pulitzer prize winners this was very poor. I even think the whiney-spirited "Hours" was better than this book.

Review title: Implausible but great read Product review: I really enjoyed this book. Eloquently written and hard to put down. Not sure how possible this might be, but still a wonderful story. Would recommend to anyone interested in the holocaust/WWII or otherwise.

Review title: Judgemental book Product review: Some of the advice is not practical. It basically recommends keeping your baby at your boob for 2-3 years straight. It also directly contradicts medical advice given to me by my son's pediatrician.
