Negative Positive
Title: eh....
Review: I didn't understand why this book would've struck so many people as moving. First of all, Ann's character - it didn't seem like she grew up at all. When she got to 17, I was struck by the fact that I was still thinking she was YOUNG - like, under 10. And, where were Ann's emotions? A lot of the things YOU could imagine how they would've hurt, but I never felt like ANN was all that connected. Adele was very believable, and Carol and Ann's grandmother were also good. But Ann herself just seemed like a very cardboard person. Also, I agree that the explicit stuff didn't seem to have any basis in the story half the time. The jumping around sometimes disturbed the plotline and was annoying.
Is the review positive or negative?
