Title: So, so bad.
Review: The writer is trite, lazy, totally derivative and doesn't understand how a metaphor is supposed to work. I guess it's what's called a "beach book" or a plane book--because it's so entirely lacking in anything thought provoking it is best read someplace where your attention is going to be lacking. I think I sensed this would be the case when the cover's two rave reviews were from People and Entertainment Weekly.Anyway I finished it because I wanted to see how she'd end it. But, not caring anything about any of them, the ending couldn't affect me. Too bad, as the subject is certainly provocative.Funny thing is, because I read this long after the film came out (which I didn't see), my greatest enjoyment was picturing Alec Baldwin as the lawyer--and imagining him with the dog. That was fun.
