Title: Un-put-down-able?
Review: OK, I know people have different tastes, but I'm shocked to see the stars given to this shallow, lame, predictable, and sappy book. I just read all the reviews (slow day at work) and something else surprised me: how similar all the good reviews are. "Un-put-down-able," "I couldn't put this book down," "I literally could not put it down," etc. You get the idea. Did all the friends and family of Ayelet Waldman talk and agree to write reviews on this site, saying how "un-put-down-able" the book is?That is the only explanation I can find for the glowing reviews of a book that is, at best (and I'm being generous here) mediocre. I could put it down. Easy. No problem at all. In fact, the big effort was to pick it up again and finish it. I made the effort, read it through the laughable and maudlin ending. Never again though. I will not pick up another Waldman novel again.
Is the review positive or negative?
