Title: Form and Style 5 - Personality 0
Product review: To put my comments in perspective, I have to admit that I loved the movie with James Garner and Sally Fields...I expected that there would be something in the book that would ring true with the movie but I was quite mistaken.Putting that aspect of the story aside, I found none of the characters in this novella to be engaging other than wondering just how annoying, petty and pathetic they could possibly be.On the other hand, I found the writing itself to be quite well done. The author's grasp of dialogue was exceptional. He infused every conversation with the fullness of characterization. If only these people had something important to say or had designs that were something beyond their own selfish needs.
