Title: Pathetic heroine
Product review: Look, the writing wasn't bad. The story was told in an interesting way--rather than as a standard novel, we learn about Jane through a series of stories about Jane that are hardly connected. But you know what? My favorite story was the one that had the least to do with Jane. And you know why? Because I didn't like Jane. She thinks humor is all that she has when she's not all that funny. She's insecure. She leads men on but then acts like the victim. She's not passionate about anything. I didn't want her to succeed because I didn't feel like she deserved to succeed. I can't get into a novel with such a pathetic heroine.This is what started the "chick lit" genre? Well, that makes sense.
