Title: Unedited and boring
Product review: Unfortunately, this novel has missed the mark completely. Ms. Robbins spends a tremendous amount of effort naming brands and places (although her grasp on the places is a little worrisome - people wander in Paris and see sights that are miles apart, as though they are across the street from one another), but her characters are weak, and the plot is weaker. The novel reads like a note passed in class by a 16 year old girl; it has everything except exclamation points and smiley faces. This one isn't worth the time spent to read it, and I wouldn't have finished but for the long plane flight with bad movie options.The book also would have benefitted from a careful reading by an editor before publication. This might have eliminated sentences such as, "I was hesitant to return the preceding day to check on the princess, as I feared a repeat of the following incident." It reads even worse in context.
