Negative Positive
Title: don't bother!
Review: i have read most of the oprah picks, and this one is one of the worst. the writing was impossibly wordy,the characters are loosely defined,and i could not follow a plot. i have been a practicing english teacher for 20 years with a master's degree in secondary reading,so i am not a stranger to recognizing quality literature. i loved white oleander and both of wally lamb's books. i hope the next book is better.
