Negative Positive
Title: THIS HAS TO BE BERG AT HER WORST~
Review: I particularly liked Berg's "Open House" but was extremely disappointed with "Range of Motion." The story begins when Lainey's husband, Jay, is hit on the head by ice falling from a building and is rushed to the hospital. There he remains in a coma. Lainey brings Jay's favourite things from home with the hope that scents, sounds, smells and feel of familiar things will help him come out of the coma.The book seems to drag on forever and the characters have absolutely no substance or realistic quality. They remind me of wind-up toys going through the motions (maybe that is what prompted the title, "Range of Motion?)and feeling nothing. Lainey's best friend, Alice, adds nothing to the book and the ghost of a woman who previously lived in Lainey's home is just too bizarre and far-fetched to be believable. The ending was predictable almost from page one. What more can I say, "The booked is boring, dull, a chore to finish, and now sits in my compost bin."
Is the review positive or negative?
