Title: ...what?
Product review: After finishing <i>The Gift</i>, I was inspired to undertake a seldom-done task: trying to think of any book worse - or even equally bad - as this one.While the novel had potential and even some good aspects - I loved the intermitten stories - it failed to make use of either. The characters were cliché, the dialogue weak at best, the plot so sporatic and wraught with the bizarre that it really made no sense. And, frankly, it was boring.It ended on a lecture that brought back memories of the anti-climactic Socialist diatribe that ended Sinclair's <i>The Jungle.</i> I think it might have been trying to send a message, but what is beyond me. As another reviewer noted, I am at a complete loss as to the point of this book.I was barely able to finish <i>The Gift,</i> and by the time I had, I wished I'd never started it.
