Title: Disappointed
Product review: I read this as a selection by our book club. Having glanced at the reviews for this book already on Amazon I had high hopes and still think it's interesting subject matter and should elicit good discussion. However the book itself was far too shallow - you didn't get to know or care about any of the characters. All of them were glossed over in far too little detail. Karen read like the Charlise Theron character in 'Monster' and Franny came across as just weak. How did she ever leave Texas at 16 and get all the way through med. school? It just didn't mesh and gee, was anyone surprised that she and Rick end up looking like a couple? I'm sorry, good subject, serious issues but just not dealt with in any depth at all which is too bad. And what's with the type face? How much white space do you want on a page???
