Title: The hype was a roar....the read was a whisper.....
Product review: This book was recommended to me by a younger friend who really loved it. I was disappointed in the lengthy drawn-out narratives of the scenery. The character of the husband was nothing but a stereotype, only part of the story because without him there would be no sexual tension and thus no real story. I thought the book was boring and predictable except for the ending......that earned the two star rating.....if it weren't for the surprise ending it would be just another Bridges of Madison County. I liken the plot to a Harlequin Romance ....it's all circumstantial and a lot of mush. I'm not above the romance for romance's sake when I'm in the mood for a light read, but Evans spent too much time setting up the story before anything really happened. To his credit, I hear the book is much better than the movie.
