Negative Positive
Title: Almost Satisfactory
Review: I wanted to like the main character Jessie, but she became so tiresome and all I wanted to do was get through the story in hopes that something would happen. It plods along with the reader being told to believe that a woman goes to takes care of her "sick" mother but all she does for her is bandage her a few times a day and doesn't get the woman help until it's almost too late. The mom is going insane! An idiot could see that! Jessie is a psychiatrist's wife for goodness sake, so she has no excuse. The reason for the ignoring of her mother I think is simple though....she's much too busy having an instant affair with a wannabe monk. I can't feel happy for an adulterer and her accomplice. The other characters are cliche, silly and boring but we're supposed to like them because they have a secret. I must admit the secret at the end is why I rated the book as a 2 and also the husband Hugh was the only character I actually liked.
Is the review positive or negative?
