Title: Pinch me I'm snoring.
Review: No, I don't have ADD and yes, I felt this novel moved at reptilian speed. And frankly, the prose isn't lyrical enough to warrant such a pace. Don't get me wrong, it's not clumsy. It's very clean. But it's certainly not a "beautifully written" novel. But it thinks it is. Furthermore, I couldn't really tell any difference between the narrators. He has the same voice as she and they have the same voice as her. You get the idea. I hate to say it, but I've read instructions on the backs of seed packets that had more passion. Now, with a topic like this, one would expect one's fingers to be glued to the page, turning and turning, madly. Sadly, this was not the case with Mink's fingers. Mink's fingers tapped. Though Mr. Bohjalian does get an extra star for trying. Even if he tried a little too hard.
