Negative Positive
Title: Just fair....
Review: I agree with the reviewer about the "double dialogue" - Rita's sarcastic comments in her head, and their contrast to what she actually says. The problem is that these comments are the best part of the book. The poker-playing buddies, as well as Rita's dad, are all stock ethnic stereotypes and unfunny, to say nothing of unbelievable. The Main Line "WASP" types are also a stereotype and never come alive as characters.I will admit that I didn't guess the murderer so must give Lisa some kudos. However, the surprise romantic ending had no basis in the book; I even went back to the relevant section to see what was said and it was just a few sentences. Huh?Unlike some other reviewers, I don't know that this one could keep my attention over the course of a plane ride.
Is the review positive or negative?
