Title: No literary merit.
Product review: An appealing characteristic of the book is the comfort is has given to people (see other reviews), and I applaud the book in this regard. However, viewed solely on its literary merit, not emotional merit, it deserved 1 star. After a quick beginning, Sebold's plot line deteriorates, and the writing style never goes beyond the level of Danielle Steel.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
