Review title: plodding, pedantic, simply awful
Product review: Don't waste your money. My boss suggested I read Anne Rice, so I tried. I really tried. In truth, I could only swallow about 2/3 of it before tossing it in the garbage. The characters are very poorly developed; the plot doesn't go anywhere; the allusions to Jewish heritage are empty, with no real reference to the very real ghosts of that heritage; the editing is terrible with inconsistent formatting. Perhaps it would have worked as a short story, but certainly not as long, long novel.
