Review title: Good until it tries to make sense
Product review: This book is a lively emotional exploration of simple metaphor. Broken people, expensive china that cannot break. Broken lives, the joy of breaking things and reconstructing them. The first few chapters are exceptional and, despite their hackneyed premise, drew me into these characters and their adventure. At that point, the author should have stopped and made this a simple exploration of real life, etc. Instead, she gets symbolic and emotional and waxes into "big issues," at which point this book becomes as predictable as a heat wave and about as exciting. Kallos is talented and while this book is of the lukewarm modern popular fiction "literature" (not literature) variety, it had promise for the first half. Stop reading there and you'll get a flavorful shot of life with funny, literate, lively text.
