Title: The honeymoon is over... before it's even begun.
Review: Easy and enjoyable to read and the author did a laudable job of structuring what might have been a very confusing story. Even though the characters were completely banal and unengaging I wanted to know what happened to them. Soon I realised that I could not enjoy this book as the sweet and quirky romance it had been marketed as. I could only enjoy it as a macabre examination of intimate relationships, seasoned by the horror of inevitible decline. The ending, right down to the last paragraph, is particarly ghastly. I am completely undecided as to whether A. Niffenegger is cheap writer with the convenient ability to pull heartstrings or a good storyteller with the ability to expose the dark void at the core of the American Dream.
