Title: Not On A Par With "Bees"
Review: The first several chapters of The Mermaid Chair were, to me, very satisfying and interesting. Then I began to be bored with a very familiar plot and that's when I began skimming through the rest. Jessie Sullivan's dalliance with Brother Thomas was very predictable, and I thought the reasoning behind her mother chopping off her fingers was rather far-fetched. We're teased throughout the whole book with the death of Jessie's father and then the whole story was rather anti-climatic.I was disappointed after thoroughly enjoying The Secret Life of Bees.
