Title: Why do I bother with these books?
Product review: I don't quite know why I do this to myself. Maybe it is just the long commute. I knew within a few pages that this book was going to be one of those that you roll your eyes at the characters and even more at the author. There was very little intelligence in this book. The author practices one of my pet peves, which is to repeat information so many times (and each time it is repeated it sounds like she forgot she already told us this information) that you want to gag on the words. The author's manner of making the characters rationalize to themselves for a few pages at a time several times gets old the first time around. I have always hated when an author makes her characters contradict themselves and do stupid things for the sake of having a daring rescue, etc. I did actually read the whole book, and if this is any indication of Cheryl Anne Porters talent, I definitely will not be reading any more of her work. A real thumbs down.
