Review title: Easy read, little substance
Product review: I picked this book up because of the cover. I know, don't judge a book by its cover. However, the quotes on the jacket were quite compelling. To my disappointment, this is no extraordinary book. Just a simple story about two families bound by a disgraceful secert. I expected there would be more emotion, more deepth of character and more interesting scenes. Instead, I found the author stretching to be poetic and using wore out scenerios- like having a character drive dangerously fast to the river, out of anguish. The worst part of this book for me was the introduction a new character towards the end of the book. This interduction was disjointed and too outlandish to be true to these lives. Also, it set up the end of the book for the same type of scenes. The Memory Keeper's Daughter has a beautiful title, and is an easy read, but if your looking for a rewarding, quality read: pass this one by.
