Negative Positive
Title: Love, misdirected and misguided
Review: I am in agreement with the former reviewers who felt the book was very depressing. I know that Oprah (or her staff) chooses books where readers might learn something. Well, I learned something.......not to take Oprah's picks as law. There was absolutely nothing to look forward to in this book. Although, it was well written, everyone had a self-destructive life. I had particular distain for Kathy (who we were to believe was a recovering alcholic, but don't believe what you read, folks). She was just sad, plain and simple, with no redeeming qualities. I had hope for Behrani, but the love of his own country & the yearning for his former military life was an accident waiting to happen. I had great compassion for Behrani's wife & son. I had no compassion whatsoever for the policeman who played a pivotal role in the destruction of so many lives. Don't buy the book; it's a waste of money and if you're just a little depressed today, it'll send you over the edge.
Is the review positive or negative?
