Negative Positive
Title: Disappointed
Review: I loved the Secret Life of Bees and couldn't wait for Sue Monk Kidd to write another novel. I was so disappointed in The Mermaid Chair. It lacked everything the first book had. The plot was disappointing and shallow - this woman had everything in life to be grateful for, but was "bored" so she found "love(?)" elsewhere? What a message to deliver to women. The only redeeming quality I found in the book was an occasional humorous, well written sentence or two. It was not enough to salvage the book. I only read to the end because I kept thinking it would get better. I hope for more from her next time.
