Review title: Beyond Disappointing
Product review: Thank you, Amazon, for providing this forum for readers to express themselves and share their opinions. I reluctantly give this book a one-star rating only because the premise is intriguing and could have been developed into a good story. However, after having struggled through most of the book (50 agonizing pages remain to plow through), I kept thinking, "Am I nuts? This is really terrible writing and yet it rec'd such good professional reviews." Well, after reading the other negative reviews on Amazon, my faith in my reading taste has been reaffirmed. It is just plain awful, really. Just prior to reading this thing I had the pleasure of reading a Michael Cunningham novel---now there's an author with major talent. Perhaps the contrast made this an especially difficult book to stomach. So, thank you one-star-giving Amazon readers. I don't feel so alone. Now I'll force myself to complete those 50 pages. Maybe a glass (or three) of wine will help, really!
