Review title: Put this book down & stop reading it if you find yourself rolling your eyes over the excessive flowery sentiments in this book
Product review: I completely agree with the reviewer below who gave the advice for us to put the book if you find yourself 'dragging" through the book for the 1st 20 pages or so...It really does get worse. Ann Patchett describes her main characters with too much sacharrine, I felt I was getting cavities while reading it. She describes them like a mother who brags excessively about her only child. It just got extremely boring, agitating and too predictable. The way the opera singer was presented was so unrealistic. It gets to be overkill at a certain point I think. I got through 5 chapters and had made a wise decision that I'm not going to finish this book. Ughh..I was so disappointed. Had high hopes for Bel Canto though and her writing style and seriously think that this book was over rated.
