Title: Interesting but overrated
Product review: I just finished this book and it took me 2 1/2 weeks (quite a long time for the page length). I, of course, read it because it seemed all of America was doing the same thing. The point of view was interesting, and the story of the grieving family kept my attention. However, for the most part I couldn't wrap myself around this one. Perhaps there were too many subplots and minor characters.Also my expectations may have been too high, but the book seemed to really slog along with really very little accomplished. Also, the "possession" and the icicle at the end were very anti-climatic.I think a movie of this book would be a real mistake (think Shipping News) but will probably be inevitable.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
