Title: Thoroughly disappointed.
Product review: Having just finished and been mesmerized by "The Emperor's Children", I had high hopes for delving into Claire Messud's earlier works. This book just fails to engage me on any level, and I tried - truly, gave it about 150 pages worth of trying, but was tempted to leave it in the seat pocket of my flight home last night.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
