Title: What a waste ...
Product review: This is the most unsatisfying book I've read in years. The only reason I bothered to finish was because it was the most recent choice of my book club. I kept waiting for something redeeming to occur, which didn't happen until I slammed it shut for the final time.The story is pedestrian and the writing banal. There isn't anything original about this novel, and many of the characters (i.e., the grandmother) though meant to be quirky and eccentric, are simply cliche and annoying. This book is best reserved for adolescents, but only if the goal is to inhibit their imaginations.If you feel compelled to read something unsophisticated, this is your book. But do yourself a favor ... buy a used paperback edition.
