Negative Positive
Title: A shallow bit of fluff, but a fun trashy read.
Review: Guinan's first novel is the literary equivalent of limp celery--not much crunch and very little beneficial effect. The characters are terribly predicitble two-dimensional stereotypes, but they are appropriate for the novel's setting. The ending is a blatant attempt to add some gravitas to the work, but has no subtlety and little believibilty. However, it is an easy, fun read that will not require too much effort. The cover, an obvious ploy to attract the novel's target market, will insure that it sells well and will probably cause some anxiety on the beach.
