Title: What a sophomoric book!
Product review: I was completely disappointed in this book that had received so much hype. I was reluctant to read it at first because in my job as a defense attorney, I deal with many child abuse cases and didn't relish reading a book that would deal so personally with the child's death. But, after reading so many rave reviews for the book, I gave in. Alice Sebold certainly had a clever idea for her story, and could have used it to explore real human emotions and the dynamics of the family, but instead she squandered her opportunity and ended up with a ridiculous, improbable and immature revere on retribution/fulfillment from the grave. Don't waste your time.
