Review title: Don't waste your time ...and it takes considerable time!
Product review: This ponderous melodrama is about 300 pages too long. The characters lack depth and it takes the duration of the book to generate any sympathy for them at all. The author takes risks, trying to shock the reader into feeling empathy but the plot developments are tasteless, bordering on porn.The story moves along at a snail's pace, never achieving momentum, and is all too predictable in its conclusion.
