Title: Uninspiring
Review: This is my first Alice Hoffman book and may be my last. Her writing style rambles and switches points of view so rapidly I felt whiplash coming on. Her main character, the murderer, is so despicable when we initially see him commit his crime that it is quite unfathomable for us to think he has "changed" so much. The premise was enticing, yet the story and characters never really developed. Hoffman's writing style is to switch viewpoints every chapter, yet I felt jipped that we weren't in Ethan's point of view longer, if not to help us understand this great metamorphasis we were supposed to buy into. I don't think I'll read another.
