Title: A Tower Deserving of Deconstruction
Product review: Like many of the reviewers, I loved Possession. Unfortunately, this mish-mash was a solid disappointment. Hyped as a book of the 60's, it is about no 60's I ever lived through. Which might not have been all that bad if the plot had been involving rather than contrived, if the characters had been alive rather than stick figures, if the whole thing hadn't been so gadawful boring. I'm a compulsive reader, and I rarely don't finish a book. But after I forced myself to read all of two-thirds of this tripe, I decided I didn't need to be so masochistic. There's only one thing I want to know about this book: how could such an obviously gifted author write such a bummer book?
