Title: I would have rather gone fishing...
Product review: From reading the other reviews on this site, there was apparently a lot of hype about this book. I found it while wandering through the bookstore and thought that it would be both funny and touching. Unfortunately, I never laughed nor was I ever touched. The book was trying to be overtly different than anything by Helen Fielding or Katie Fford, but in doing so, evoloved character development and a central plot. I kept waiting for the short stories to weave together,as well as for Jane to evolve as a woman and actually be changed by her life experiences. The writing style is choppy, which I also think adds to the uncohesiveness of the entire book. On the posititve side, it is a quick read and you will probably be no worse off for the ware. But it did disappoint me enough to make go online and write this review. In the end, I just felt cheated out of a good story.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
