Title: Terribly Disappointing
Review: This book was horrid. The story was mediocre, the writing was bad. Even the main characters are underdeveloped cliches; the supporting characters are worse. It's predictable. Niffenegger relies on quotes to relay what her writing apparently can't. The name-dropping that occurs throughout the book gets old fast, and it fails to paint the picture of Chicago which was presumably the intention, instead just getting cumbersome. Frankly it was misogynistic, which is depressing considering a woman wrote it. The fact that it's a love story doesn't save it from its gaping holes in logic, its bad and inconsistent diction, and its poor, poor character development. I think that a person could find much, much better cute love stories than this one to read if that's what someone's looking for (and everybody wants one occasionally). This one isn't worth it.
