Title: disappointed
Product review: I am struggling with this novel, which is surprising, because I was really looking forward to reading it. I don't even think the writing is very good. It is often confusing and awkward. I am having a hard time relating to any of the characters, as none of them seem real to me. I am only on page 150, so there is still hope, but at this point I think I am just being stubborn to continue with it. I forced myself to finish "On Green Dolphin Street" in November, and swore that was the last time I would do that for a book that is meant to be "pleasure reading". Some pleasure. For true pleasure reading, try Atonement. Sebold's novel seems to be an overhyped chore.
