Title: Disagree with the editors
Product review: I realize that this is an Amazon Editors pick for 2003, but I'm not sure exactly what they saw in this novel. I found it to be tedious, dry and uninspiring. The author's writing style is confusing and overtly manipulative, so I couldn't buy into the story that she was trying to sell me. By the end I was feeling completely cold toward all of the characters and didn't care whether they lived or died - I just wanted to the book to end. I kept reading though, fully expecting an amazing ending that would warrant the Editors Pick, but I was sadly mistaken. I could not believe how terrible the ending was. Turner Hospital tries to throw a surprise into her conclusion, but it falls completely flat (probably because I didn't give two shakes about the characters in the first place.) Anyways, don't buy this book. It's bad. Really, really bad.
