Review title: Great beginning turned into a silly ending
Product review: I was so impressed with this novel until about the middle of it. Instead of ending there - where it should have - the author dreamt up ghosts to keep it going. Then all the characters ("all" the characters) seemed to flip out and none of their "eccentricities" were set up properly.Then everyone became twisted except the one who the most selfish and horrible from the start. And every "secret" and twist of the plot were telegraphed so loudly, I wished I could turn my hearing down.I think this writer has a wonderful voice and quite an imagination, but the novel suffers from its length, its callous disregard for the characters, its tendency toward explotative "shocks" for titillation, and the extremely weak ending. I can only recommend the novel up until the birth of the twins (vague, on purpose!), after that the novel reads like a very twisted sort of Lady Chatterly's Lover meets Justine.Pass.
