Negative Positive
Title: Problematic, unsatisfying story
Review: This novel has a few redeeming themes, settings, and characters, but overall, it's choppy, forced, problematic. In order to be believable, there would have to be about 3 or 4 times the plot development and detail. Seems to be attempting to follow the same formula as "The Secret Life of Bees" but is far less successful.
