Title: A Real Disappointment
Review: I purchased this book not only because of Oprah's book club, but also because of the strong recommendation it received by my mail order book club. What a disappointment!!! Putting aside the fact that Beth is so unlikable a character, the prose, particularly the dialogue, was monotonous and contrived. How can anyone who is actually well-read have praised this awkward attempt at literature? I put the book down after the first 30 pages, and only picked it up again with the hope that it would get better. It didn't. Please don't waste your time on this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
