Title: What a disappointment.
Product review: I eagerly waited for my chance to take this book out of the library. I loved Mr. Lehane's previous books. I didn't like this book. I enjoyed the first 50 or so pages, and thought the book was going somewhere I wanted to go. I thought the idea of exploring the way in which a tragedy in childhood can effect the lives of the children involved over the course of their lives was intriguing. However, somewhere along the line the story lost interest for me, the writing began to become repetitive and the 3 main characters were never fleshed out into real people. The book became weaker more contrived as it plodded to the conclusion. The ending seemed as if it had been planned ahead and the middle of the story written to fit it. Or, perhaps Mr. Lehane couldn't figure out where he wanted the story to go, and threw in a twist for effect, without considering the continuation of the story line. I had a hard time finishing the book and started to skim pages. What a disappointment.
