Title: Good, strong writing, dull and lackluster story.
Product review: I picked up this book because of all the hype and good things I had heard about it. I was drawn in very quickly due to the author's excellent prose (no arguing, Sebold is a beautiful and brilliant writer), but lost interest very quickly. There's really no plot, no central STORY. Things are just kinda happening and while she describes it poignantly (though at times it was very cheesy and corny), it's just not engaging.Far from un-put-down-able, but it is read-able. It's just dull and lackluster. Good premise, promising author, but skip this book. You're not missing much. Check out Jodi Picoult's Nineteen Minutes or My Sister's Keeper instead.
