Review title: "Fall on Your Knees" Falls on Its Face
Product review: This has to be one of the worst books I have ever read. And the sad thing is that it showed such promise during the first 150 pages. An epic of melodramatic situations, unbelievable characters, and silly plot twists that try to shock rather than tell a story. The author tries to elevate this purile contrivance by covering it with lofty language, arabic sayings (which are not translated), and religious metaphors. I guess this is what dupes some people into thinking they are reading good literature. Ms. MacDonald has succeeded in passing off this travesty as a high-minded read when in fact it is nothing more than a series of Jerry Springer episodes placed on paper. At least Springer is more honest--he doesn't try to pass himself off as Masterpiece Theatre.
