Title: Spots of Good Writing, But Poorly Characterized
Review: When I picked up this book from the library for my book group, I immediately cringed at the cover. It had "that look" that told me I was not going to enjoy it, and for the most part, my instincts were right on. The story is of a blissful Midwestern couple with two kids who face the troubling decision of whether or not to have a third child when the wife becomes pregnant. The idea of a woman in her 30s facing an abortion is a potentially interesting issue. Unfortunately the husband and wife are very poorly characterized: she is an annoyingly narcissistic woman, and he is annoyingly gentle and understanding man. There are many interesting and well written scenes littering the book, but none of the potential of these moments is ever realized. The ending is particularly unsatisfying. In fact, the whole book feels like a cobbled together pastiche of short stories, short story ideas, scenes and characters all poorly tied together.
