Title: Overrated
Review: I agree with the previous reviewer that this book came highly recommended but proved to be a real disappointment. I didn't find the characters interesting or compelling, and I'm not even really sure there was a plot. More just a series of events which lacked climax. It is broken into three chronological "acts" but relies too heavily on flashbacks to seal the gaps between.The editing is also poor; the main character is twelve in 1976 but is something like 32 in 1990. The writing is uninspired and resorts to telling the reader what she is supposed to feel. The dialogue is unbelievable and often doesn't fit the character.There was one section of the book in the middle that seemed more carefully written and almost captured my imagination, but even that failed in the end.I could go on, but I will stop at saying that I am not inspired to read any more books from 2004 if this is "one of the best" of the year.
