Title: Pretty ordinary
Product review: I think the one thing that makes this book worthwhile is the authors poignant and yet not overtly sentimental description of how the love and fondness within a family evolves over time. Other than that, I thought the book exploits our natural fascination with human tragedy (the voyeuristic tendency to want to glimpse into the life of people whose lives are more dramatic than ours) to pass off a rather poorly written story. The characters are prototypical and glossed over. The only relationship that I thought was explored or described to some depth was the one between Lindsey and her father.The book itself is reasonably interesting but I think the writing is merely passable. I think the book is overhyped and that one's time is better spent reading one of the classics!
