Title: Tripe!
Product review: Good beginning, predictable middle, horrible sappy sentimental cowardly ending. Having set himself up with some reasonably interesting characters, placed them in a moral dilemna that might create tragedy, comedy, or god forbid, some sort of character growth, the author either loses interest or his mind and resolves the whole matter with a cheap, lazy and pointless deus ex machina. What was shaping toward an interesting story degenerates into nothing more than a trite, saccharine tear jerker. Instead of facing the consequences of their actions or making decisions about the course of their lives, his characters just dissolve into maudlin stereotypes and go weeping into the sunset. Somebody rent this guy a moral compass, he's lost! Bleehch!
