Review title: Doesn't live up to the hype
Product review: I had heard from a few people that this book was GREAT and that it touched them emotionally; so I was anxious to read it with my fellow bookclub members. Unfortunately, I thought the book was just so-so. I didn't like any of the characters and had a hard time empathizing with them. The author used a lot of imagery in her writing, but it got old fast and the book seemed to drag. The entire story line made the book basically a real down-er. Plus the ending was somewhat abrupt, and not real believable. I was not alone in my opinion of the book; my bookclub friends didn't care for it much either.
