Title: readable yet nothing special
Review: I agree with those who said this novel was overrated. I bought the book in an airport, with few other selections to choose from and read it one evening on vacation. I became so bored three fourths into it that I skipped ahead just to find out if anything really tragic or interesting happened.I guess I bought the book because I don't like mystery or romance genre novels, and this book had the most appealing cover art. The author crafts a fine sentence-- but the plot was annoyingly derivative of all the other "quirky yet reslient, abused, southern teen comes-of-age" novels currently being touted as "literature" (as a result of Oprah Winfrey's old book club preferences no doubt). This kind of novel should be clearly identified to warn those of us who are tired of the genre. I also agree with the reviewer who said the nearly-conflict-free second half of the book was pure fantasy, and not the interesting kind.
