Title: All hype and no substance...
Product review: This book seems to be another attempt at creating a magical realism novel, like The Bridges of Madison County--a lone man with mystical powers, one failed marriage and ta da...who finds the ONE woman for all time--only she is trapped in a marriage she is bored or unhappy with. They have a brief affair and then he walks out, never to be seen again. I couldn't relate to the characters very well. They seemed made of cardboard. In my opinion this book meets the standard for pop literature, not high literature. If it's high-quality magical realism with great love scenes and scary situations you want, I strongly suggest Gabriel Garcia Marquez's books. That's one person who knows how to write in this genre!
