Title: What a disappointment
Product review: After all the publicity and hype, this book is my most disappointing read in a long time. Sure, there are moments of powerful reflection, especially on the relationship between children and their parents. But the prose here is pedestrian at best and the characters are hardly developed in interesting ways at all. And there is no real ending to this book. Readers looking for interesting and compelling novels would do much better by reading recent novels authored by Geraldine Brooks, Julia Glass, and Kate Jennings, all of which deserve the acclaim, attention, and publicity that this book has received by the mainstream book publishing/advertising industry.
