Title: A disappointing novel with TV-movie plot
Product review: This novel was a major disappointment, especially after reading a positive review of the book. The point of view alternates among several individuals involved with the small boy, including that of the boy itself--if you like reams and reams of baby-talk, then this book is for you. Grown-ups would have preferred that the author had fashioned a less predictable plot (conflict over custody between black and white grandparents) that seems calculated for a movie or TV sale. Skip the book and wait for the film.
