Title: Good story idea, poor execution
Product review: I really wanted to like this book. At 150 pages, my usual quitting place if I am not enjoying a book, I still didn't. Yet, I continued on. At 250 pages I felt too far gone to quit. I hoped that somehow the story could be pulled together by the end and that all those pages were not a waste of time. Unfortunately, my hopes were dashed.The story in this book took forever to develop. I absolutely don't care for the characters. Correctly handled, "unlikable" characters are my favorite to read about. These aren't those kind of characters. I couldn't care less for simpering, self-involved Robin. The development of Cliff's character is flimsy and I find him boring. I believe the general idea for the book had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, Goodman drained the lifeblood out of it by dragging it on and on and on.
