Title: We Were Not Impressed...
Product review: The book didn't pull us in...the characters were shallow and superficial; there was no point to many of them. Jim? Who? What is happening with Sally and Fredrick? The only reason we kept reading was because we had to. None of us really liked the book...we ordered it because of the excellent reviews, and were disappointed by the reality. It had a good basis and general idea, but the book didn't go where it should have. There was a lot of potential, but no depth to the characters and nothing was really thought through. Many parts of the book could have gone more into depth, but Pullman just glossed over most of the important parts and interesting subjects and facts. For example, the photo shop. No one cares. But, the history of the ruby was an interesting topic that was not elaborated on, and the ruby itself was almost dropped out of the story. In conclusion, we were not all that thrilled with this novel.
