Title: Highly disappointing
Review: This was the first of Nora's books that I felt like giving up after about 50 pages. I had just read the much superior River's End before starting The Reef, and the latter turned out to be a big let down. There was not much humor in the interaction between the characters, and they just failed to grab my attention and interest. The dialogue between the two main characters sounded actually fake, and at times made me cringe. Their true emotions never came to the surface. Nonetheless some interesting plot twists in the end rose above the level, and it turned out to be mildly entertaining.
