Title: Couldn't force myself to finish this one!
Product review: I have a difficult time abandoning a book once I've invested more than a little time reading it, but I can't go on! Like other reviewers, I came to Amazon hoping for some encouragement. Oh well, now I know I should have read the reviews before I bought it based on "A Thousand Acres" and Smiley's overall reputation. I'll never buy another Smiley novel and this one's headed for the recycle bin - I wouldn't pass it along and subject another reader to this drivel.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
