Negative Positive
Title: Where was the editor?
Review: I just finished reading this book- all 700+ pages of it. I don't normally pay attention to page length, but I kept having to reassure myself I was getting closer to the end. Where to start? Before this I read Belwether by Connie Willis- a funny, interesting book. So i picked up this one thinking it would be as good. Instead, at around 400 pages in, it became unbearable. The narrative was long, rambling, confusing, and i found myself wishing the narator would get some counseling, or just shut up. She did neither. I slogged through the middle, hoping the story would tie together or at least lessen my frustration. Nope. The end was open-ended, contrite and completely unsatisfying. Don't waste any brain power on this one, it's not worth it.
