Title: Poorly developed characters, plodding dialogue
Product review: After seeing previews for the movie I immediately bought the book. The premise is one that is ripe for telling in today's world of broken relationships, lost loves. The effort to complete the book was monumental. It reads like an outline for a potentially marvelous novel/movie/play, waiting to be fleshed out. Unfortunately, the fleshing never occurs. Also unfortunately, the movie follows the book so closely that the movie, also, fails in its attempt to satisfy. Truly a pity, as Mr. Sparks had the potential to develop a deeply compelling storyline.
