Review title: A good start that steadily declines
Product review: A good story but the writing is lacking. One has the sense that the author has just learned the technique of foreshadowing, and uses it every other page to display her mastery. One is not left wondering why the author's other works are out of print, nor is one left with the sense that this book will do much to alter that fact. If the author is indeed a ghostwriter like her autobiographical narrator, then she should return with haste to a genre that does not demand of its writers a high degree of literary acumen.
