Title: Flat and uninspiring
Product review: If this were a fiction book, I would critique it on the basis that the main character is painfully one-dimensional, and as another reviewer wrote, somewhat self-centered. The fact that this is actually a memoir is not a good sign since memoirs are an opportunity for authors to explore their own uniqueness and get beyond narrative cliches. Its a pity that she has applied such a normative frame to understanding the complications of her life, and unless you are totally comfortable with the narrow ambitions and desires of a "normal" bourgeois life, you probably won't find this book compelling.
