Title: This is the best of the Oprah books...and it ain't good
Review: Yep, Beth, is cold, unlovable, and unlikable, which is the reason that reading the book is such a chore. If she would ever have made an attempt to help herself, to try to look outside of herself, the reader would be able to empathize. As it is, she is not a mother that anyone would like to have and I ended up feeling like the lost kid got the best end of the deal by getting out of the dysfunctional quagmire. I'm getting overwhelmed with victimization...give me a hero, and if not a hero, give me someone for whom I can at least feel compassion.
Is the review positive or negative?
