Review title: gratuitous baby deaths ruin the novel for me
Product review: Call me a softie, but I hate to read about the death of a baby or child. I can handle it if it enhances a story in some way, but the baby deaths in this novel seem entirely pointless. In fact, most of what happens in this novel seemed pointless and depressing to me. Don't assume I'm some Christian housewife with 4 kids either. I'm not. I'm educated and I enjoy a good dark novel from time to time, but in my opinion this one is not a good dark novel. It's a mediocre novel that tries to be interesting by creating strange characters and events. It fails because the characters are not believable and they don't invite much empathy. The shape of the plot is interesting, and the style is a little compelling, but all in all I was disappointed.
