Title: If you like books that implode...
Product review: What happened to this novel? It started off wonderfully and grabbed me from the first chapter (read it here at Amazon and see if you don't agree) - I can see why the publisher wanted it in print. But each chapter thereafter gets duller, more mundane, and - especially in the last 100 pages - downright inane.I don't doubt Ms. Sebold's talent as a writer, but it seems obvious she had no idea how to end the book - and still doesn't.One other note: you need to be able to handle metaphors that make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Doesn't Little Brown have editors anymore? I can only hope whoever writes the screenplay (I assume this is going to film) will rewrite the second half of the story.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
