Review title: Good fuel for the fire
Product review: After finishing this book, which was a painstaking and depressing ordeal, I tossed it into the fire and watched it go up in smoke. The characters are all pathetic, limp noodles; the story lacks plot and character development. Page after page, I kept waiting and hoping for something to happen, for someone to rise up out of their quagmire and make me care about them. The comment of a 30-year old friend who also read the book was, "now I understand what it was like to be a woman in the 70's". I couldn't disagree more - life was NOT as it was depicted in this book in the 70's. Nor in the 60's or 50's, and I've been around long enough to know. I wouldn't recommend this lifeless, twisted, joyless book to anyone.
