Title: Funny at times but mostly irritating
Product review: I am a huge fan of Cathleen Schine's (even before The Love Letter) and while I usually wait until the paperback, I bought this one in hardback with great anticipation. Unlike Schine's previous works, I found this one to be mostly a chore, although there were moments of great humor. Jane is one of the most self-absorbed and self-deluded characters I've encountered lately. Maybe this was the point, I don't know, but if so, it was not funny or instructive in the least. Martha and the other characters were also uninteresting -- there was not a single likable character in the entire book. There was too much information about the Galapagos Islands, too. I was expecting a comedy, not a guidebook to the Galapagos...
