Title: Amateurish prose
Review: At some point, Janet Fitch must have taken a creative writing class that urged students to cram an awkward simile into every single sentence. For example, when one character tosses a pen to, she writes "The pen stuck in the tabletop like a javelin." I tried tossing a pen across the room to see if this comparison fit. Sure enough, my little ball-point grew to the size of a telephone-pole and smashed through the table's surface, sticking out at a crazy angle. I had never noticed that phenomenon before. Kudos to Janet Fitch for her keen powers of observation!
