Title: Gloria is a boring spoiled brat
Product review: I wanted to like this book. I put off reading it for a couple weeks in anticipation. I was extremely disappointed. Other reviewers have made a big deal about the fact the author is male (details to clothing etc). No one has said anything about Gloria having little more personality than a plastic doll. She is extremely selfish. We never find out the root of her roommates religion, or why Gloria suddenly decides they are friends. We never find out what happened to her friend from her writing class. The book flips back and forth between time periods and different characters' points of view; I think it would've been much more effective to stick with Gloria. I wish she was more sympathetic. It was impossible for me to root for her, or feel any emotion about anything that happened to her. Many parts were overly descriptive, and I found myself skimmimg paragraph after paragraph. A big disappointment.
