Title: Overrated -- I did not get past page 25
Review: Sorry - I tend to make snap judgments about books, and I can usually tell within about 30 pages whether a book is worth my time or not. I found the writing style choppy, jumping back and forth between past and present time, and just knew that this book was not my cup of tea. So I stopped there and returned it to the library. The past events in the characters' lives, which the author felt so compelled to mention, seemed completely insignificant to me -- instead of shedding some light on the characters, which I imagine was the point of the digressions.
