Review title: This is why I hesitate to read an Oprah book
Product review: I've learned a long time ago not to grab every book that Oprah recommends. I took a chance with "A Fine Balance" and loved it, loved, loved it, so, I said, "Self, why not try "Fall on your Knees"? Why not indeed? This isn't the worst book I've read but when you expect something decent and don't get it, it's worse than a poorly written book that you had no expectations for. I didn't like the writing style, I couldn't believe what the father did (not because I didn't think him capable, but because there was no effective characterisation to support it; neither was there effective characterisation to support the oldest daughter and what she does/is), the author's revelations were primarily based on huge omissions and I didn't care about any of the characters. This book just didn't do it for me. Read "A Fine Balance" instead and get your money's worth.
