Title: Walter's the Echo does not live up to her prior standards.
Product review: Minnette Walter's previous books were true page turners. At the end of each the reader could not be sure beyond a reasonable doubt if the protagonist was guilty of a heinous murder or wrongly accused and maltreated. In the Echo there is no reason to care. Words on the page seem to go nowhere and there is no story or character about whom to care. This book went straight to the re-sale shelf of the local library in the hope of saving someone else the agony of buying such a disappointing hardback novel. Save your money. Don't wait for the paperback version. Even $6.95 is too much to spend for this no-goer.
