Title: Disappointed, rent it from the library
Product review: I won't go into a basic summary of the book because I trust someone has already done that....After reading this short novel, I felt compelled to post a review.The Jack the Ripper and Scrooge and ghostly references felt so wasted; it wasn't until quite late in the book that the darker, fantastical references were used, and even then, not to their full potential. The main character, Winnie Rudge, is a cynical, annoying, Gen-Xer. At times, her pretentious rantings just made me want to strangle her. The narrative is over done. I think Mr. Maguire tried too hard and it just came off corny. I don't know who to be disappointed in: Mr. Maguire or his editor for allowing such mediocre fiction to be published.I know my review might now help alot of people in terms of exact details but I just felt I should shuck my review out there to those who just want a general idea.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
