Title: A Disappointing read
Product review: While I wouldn't say reading this book was a waste of time, it definitely wasn't the best book I have ever read. The main character, Jane, is very endearing. She reminded me very much of myself as a teenager. However, I found the book to be very misleading. I was under the impression that the was a novel; instead it is a collection of short stories, and not a very good one at that.The stories do not seem to follow any particular chronological order, and I found the second story to be completely misplaced. What was the purpose of placing this story into the book? The "book" seems to focus on Jane, yet there is only one reference to the main character in passing.I think Ms. Banks has the ability to capture her readers with her realistic portrayal of the characters, but her ability to write as novel definitely needs improvement.
