Title: IT WAS SO MISNAMED
Review: I was drawn into this book not only by the author's name but also by "Remains of the Day" which was so poignant. However, by page three or four I could not feel any empathy for Kathy and her wobbling little thoughts about her life in the "institution". I did carry on page after page, looking for the purpose of the book, waiting, waiting. I did understand, like chapters about 'the pencil case' and other little items were symbols but they lead nowhere. She kept promising us, 'but more about that later' and nothing happened and so finally I knew that nothing really was coming later. I suppose that if your purpose in life is to be a body parts donor then there cannot be any joy, yearnings, or creative love but it is not anything that the world wants to be told about because unfortunately that is the fate of millions of us, unknowingly. Remains of the Day, although it came to the same end was at least frought with repressed passion.
Is the review positive or negative?
