Title: A little much
Product review: I must give Alice Hoffman some credit for trying. Currently we are reading this song in my English class, and I noticed immediatley that this so-called lyrical prose is... too much. While other authors pull off the lyrical prose beautifully, Hoffman is just too much for me. Constant metaphors and repetition are very inaffective. It seems as if the author spent hours musing ways to put this story in a "haunting" way, rather than connect the reader with the characters' feelings. Her efforts fall flat. I am not finished with the book, and though I can not make any conclusions about the story, I must say what I feel about the language. Moderation would be nice. Hopefully the story gets better because right now I am quite bored with this book.
