Negative Positive
Title: extremely put-downable
Review: i rarely leave a book unfinished, and this is definitely one of those rare times. i am glad i got the book for only a quarter at a library book sale. i am ready to take it out and put it anywhere, probably on a park bench when it stops snowing so maybe someone can benefit from it, someone who will sympathize with the book's self-centered and extremely boring characters. i went past page 50, hoping the book would kick in, but it didn't. i should have learned from my first experience with jane hamilton's The Book of Ruth, but i thought i would give this author a second chance. well, this is her last, as far as i am concerned. it is a waste of time for serious readers. use your time, money and effort on the classics. this one is not even worth summarizing.
