Title: "Lost" is aptly named...
Product review: "Lost" is aptly titled, because the reader feels lost for the first two thirds of the novel. In the final third, you discover some answers, but find they weren't really answers worth knowing. This novel is written in the third person but the point of view is first person, which leaves the reader feeling confused, muddied, and, well, lost. While I realize this may have been the point, it really doesn't work here. Finally, I don't think the author really understands women, which is unfortunate, since the protagonist and many of the characters are female. They all end up feeling underdeveloped and stilted, caricatures of real women. Their dialogue is inexplicable in some cases, and often downright rude for no apparent reason. Frankly, I was very disappointed. Get this one from the library if you must read it, or wait for the paperback. Better yet, take out your copy of "Wicked" and re-read that instead.
