Title: Better
Review: Louise Erdrich has written a spell-binding tale that overall, grabs the reader's interest and keeps it. She seems best, however, at describing the landscape (with an almost lyrical, poetic manner) than at developing a solid and coherent plot. I found the relationship between Marlis and Candice to be unbelievable, and the entire Eleanor-thing was also a little perplexing.I am disappointed in how Erdrich describes Fargo. Her descriptions are basically those of a late 1940's Fargo, and certainly does not jibe with what Fargo, North Dakota, is like nowadays. Makes me wonder if she's been up here lately. Perhaps she ought to pay a visit before writing a novel about it.
Is the review positive or negative?
