Title: Disappointing
Product review: I'm the sort of reader who must at all costs finish a book, once bought. I am struggling to do so with this one, and I've been a big fan of George. The plot is flat, the characters are flat, and the writing is flat. I get the feeling that George lost interest in this early on (assuming it was she who wrote it, it's far below the caliber of her earlier books). The main protagonists are cliche children of a cliche California tree hugger, Deborah and Simon St James are even more bland and excessively considerate of each other than usual, and everyone is in the throes of childhood traumas tenuously related to the plot (such as it is). And I don't particularly care what happens to any of them.
