Negative Positive
Title: Not nearly engaging enough
Review: I was very impressed with The Red Tent. I loved the way the characters and their interactions were developed throughout the story. Although not a lengthy book, the author achieved real depth quickly and easily with her narrative. The Last Days of Dogtown simply did not have the same depth. The story seemed very disjointed; there is no real beginning and no definitive end. Although some of the vinettes of the various characters were interesting, the compilation of the whole was somewhat pointless. I love to read because I feel like I always learn something from whatever I read. Fiction in particular is either informative or evokes some type of reaction or emotion. In all honesty, this book was uninteresting.
