Title: Look out for this turkey!
Product review: 1 star-for marketing, 0 stars- for writing. What starts off with a decent hook and a rather clever idea of heaven, quickly decends into a morass of syrupy narrative, unbeliveably trite dialogue and cardboard characters. Many, many plot holes and an annoying tendency for the characters to make leaps to correct and crucial decisions out of nowhere. I could see this book marketed as a light read for the teenagers, mostly female, but certainly not to any reader looking for a book that is "destined to become a classic."Here is a small sample of the writing that set my teeth on edge:"She pulled Len in to her and slowly kissed him on the mouth. He seemed to hesitate at first. His body tensed, telling him NO, but that NO became vague and cloudy, became air sucked into the intake fan of the humming hydrant beside them. She reached up and unbuttoned her raincoat. He placed his hand against the thin gauzy material of her summer gown." (pg. 148)WHEW!!
