Negative Positive
Title: It was horrible!
Review: The plot was confused (and I couldn't find the point, even after many long hours spent trying), the characters were incredibly unsympathetic (I frankly would have cheered if they had all been run over by a wayward bus in the second chapter) and the writing was trying too hard-- the plot seemed unbelievable from about page 5 onward, and the author seems to want us to believe that Mallory is a Deeply Troubled but Perfect woman-- drop-dead-gorgeous, brilliant, good job, well-respected, etc., but Deeply Turmoiled Inside. We should care? This is one of those characters you just want to slap and then throw down a well.
