Title: Cheese-bones
Product review: Don't waste your time! Never before have I had to stop in mid-sentance and cry out to heaven - "OH MY GOD - HOW CHEESEY CAN SHE POSSIBLY GET?" Only to realize that I had underestimated her in the next chapter. I mean, the whole town turning out (spontaneously) to mourn her - like a freaking Coke commercial? (I actually started to hum, "I'd like to buy the world a coke...") And the worst offense is the fall to earth for a booty call?!?! The girl is still 14 in heaven (BECAUSE SHE WAS RAPED AND MURDERED, MIND YOU) and she decides her final burst of glory is to get laid?!?! The character development was desparately thin - which, in one case, leaves you wondering why the mother comes back after 8 years (during which she did nothing, apparantly) and decides to STAY!?!? WHY??? And why introduce characters in heaven - scenes in heaven - if Sebold wasn't going to do ANYTHING with them? I'm stunned to see this book get so much good press. Do yourself a favor and watch tv instead!
