Title: Disappointing
Product review: Having heard wonderful reviews on this book from various sources, i was excited to be using it in psychology class. I began reading immediately...racing through over a 150 pages in the first sitting. In these first pages i was moved by the plot and intrigued by the perspective from which Alice Sebold was telling this tale.However, this was all that appealed to me, i found the writing style extremely immature and rather tedious. There were numerous times where i just wanted to put the book down amd give up on it...the only thing that propelled me forward was the prospect that perhaps the latter part of the book would live up to it's raving reviews...unfortunately i was let down as the book ploughed on with it's prosaic narrative. And so for it's monotony and it's frivolity, i give this novel 1 star.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
