Title: Disappointed
Product review: I read the first 30 pages of this memoir and put it down I was so bored. I know I can't give a fair review but I was so struck by a memoir that manages to convey no personal feelings or reactions. Cuba seems like a fascinating country and such a mystery. While the author's descriptions of, for example, the bizarre contents of the local grocery store actually were interesting, I wanted more than just a straight description. Not just the facts but the emotions and colors and general vibe of the country and how it FELT to live there. The author leaves herself so fully out of the story that it reads more like a dry description of everyday life that was censored by the Cuban government.
