Title: Bogus
Product review: This book was no more written by an 11-year-old girl than it was written by my Himalayan cat. I don't doubt it was inspired by Ms. Gottleib's real-life experiences or even her actual childhood diary, but the narrative style is so obviously contrived it cannot possibly be that of a young girl. I would have preferred to read the author's story in her own, adult words; while there may in fact be serious cultural and social issues at stake here, I put the book aside almost immediately since I couldn't get past the idea that I was being duped.
