Title: In the end...not worth the read.
Review: I am someone who rarely has the time to just sit down and read. I really wanted to read this book before seeing the movie. I wish I had just seen the movie and didn't bother with the book. I agree with some of the reviewers that it was overly contrived and melodramic. Each chapter was told from a different characters point of view. I would find myself putting the book down when certain characters were telling the story. I really didn't care what they were thinking. I too hated the ending. It was such a cop out by the author.As I read this, I kept thinking of the story The Sound and the Fury which I read in highschool. It was told in a similar fashion but features realistic tragic characters.
