Title: Intriguing story concept but deflates mid-way through
Product review: I am listening to this book on cassette and I'm not going to finish it. It has been dragging on since cassette 4 (out of 8)and I couldn't believe that I had that much more of the story to plod through. Sebold's writing is very thick and beautiful in points but it felt like the purpose of the story was diluted after the mid-point in the book. I'm glad I'm not alone in my thoughts about the boredom brought about during the back end of this book. Reading the other reviews made me decided that I will put The Lovely Bones down and return it to the library and pick up another one of the titles I have in the wings. I don't want to waste any more time.
