Title: I found this book to be a major disappointment.
Product review: I read "The Wall" a very long time ago, and recently discovered and read "White Lotus" and was absolutely bowled over by both. I was thrilled, after two such wonderful books to find "Antoinetta" and anticipated another masterpiece!Unfortunately, I have to admit that a very rare thing happened for me....I couldn't make myself finish this book. I found the characters flat and unbelievable, the plot ridiculous and the whole thing a total bore! I grant you, this may not be a fair hearing (since I only finished about half the book) but since it isn't a very long novel, I didn't think that even if I had read to the end that there were enough pages left for the author to "redeem" the first boring half. Perhaps a glass of chardonnay, as another reviewer has suggested would have "mellowed" my feelings about this book, but I think not.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
