Title: Lacking Convincing Characters
Review: The concept of the novel had potential however; I just didn't find the characters to be very credible. For example, the reader learns immediately that Sookie (the main character) has a "disability"; she is able to "hear" the thoughts of others. She has had this disablilty her whole life and, over time, has learned to block some of the "noise" out. We also find out that Sookie had a very sad childhood. She lost both of her parents when she was young and she was molested by a family member.Nonetheless, Sookie comes accross as a naive, trusting, and optimistic person. I just think that someone with her life experience would be more cynical and disillusioned. In my opinion, the story would have been more believable if the main character had a darker outlook on the world. She was just too darn nice!
