Title: An utter dissappointment
Review: This was my first Alice Hoffman experience, and I must say, my last. I almost stopped reading after 2 chapters, because I was not finding any enjoyment in her way of writing. I found it void of imagery, excitement, and completely void of passion. Although characters do not have to be likeable, (as in the case of practically all in this book,) good writing will make you feel for them in one way or another. I felt nothing at all. Hoffman dribbles on too much about nonsense without truly creating a picture in one's mind of the world and the characters she tries to convey. She tries to tell it as if she were the alter-ego of each character, but to me, her way is not effective. I know many will disagree, tastes in authors are as different as tastes in food, but I personally do not recommend this book.
