Title: Disappointed
Review: As much as I'm in love with the musical (and I know the musical was only loosely based on this book), I was severely disappointed. Not only was the story not what I expected, but I felt very detached from the characters the whole time. I didn't really care what happened to any of them by the end. It also felt like the author went through and used a thesaurus for a lot of the book just to use random (seemingly sophisticated?) vocabulary. It took me (a fast reader with lots of time on my hands due to a part-time job) several weeks to get through this book because I kept falling asleep. I wanted so much more out of this book that I just didn't get.
