Title: Capital O for Overrated
Product review: This book is not badly written. It simply has no plot and I can easily place it in my top ten Most Boring Books list. Perhaps I am a bit biased since everyone I knew raved about this book and it was strongly recommended to me by several people. I was bound to be disappointed I suppose and hence should not blame a fairly good writer. I know that others will vehemently disagree with me but I have to ask.....what is the big deal about this book? Why, when there are so many other interesting novels out there, would you pick up this bland concoction. Sure, the mother-daughter conflict makes for interesting fiction otherwise it would not be done so often in literature. If you want to read real mother-daughter drama, read White Oleander. I don't understand what is so compelling about this group of four women who grow old together. It really reminded me of Steel Magnolias which does nothing for its credibility.
