Title: I felt ripped off!!!
Review: It is hard to discuss the reasons why I felt betrayed by this book without giving away too much, but suffice it to say that the ending of this book left me with a feeling of "Why did I bother?" In addition to the let down I felt at the end, I found that Shreve described every detail ad nauseum. I felt the need to break out the thesaurus on more than one occasion just to make sure I really knew what she was driving at.I haven't read Weight of Water, so I did not know Thomas going into this book. Maybe if I had, I would have felt more connected, but in the end, I really felt as though the whole novel was a waste of time; a waste of my time, a waste of Shreve's time and especially a waste of time and energy on behalf of these characters.In my opinion: Not one of Shreve's best.
