Title: A ridiculous book...
Review: Despite it's mixed reviews, I decided to give this book a try. I should have known better. It is absolute dreck. The choppiness of the writing makes it difficult to follow. It's almost as if it was written in a stream of conciousness style, except I doubt there was much conciousness behind it to begin with.The "heroine" of the novel, while booksmart, is so incredibly lacking in street smarts that it makes her character totally unbelievable and ridiculous. She's such a highly selfish and pathetic character, that I found myself groaning in parts because of the stupid situations that she puts herself in.Without giving it all away, the "shocking" final scene is hardly that. Anyone with half a brain will figure it all out long beforehand. The clues are there, and so patently obvious, that the "twists" fall flat, and the character in question gets what she deserves for hampering the murder case that she's involved in.
Is the review positive or negative?
