Title: Like Reading a Basal Reader for Second Graders
Review: The plot is fine: a bunch of people don't like abortions. And they set out to rid themselves of the doctor who performs them. And in the hands of a skilled writer, this could have been a fascinating book. But Elizabeth Brundage would do well to work for a basal reader outfit: Annie had a desire for grapes. She put one in her mouth. She thought about her new lover. Annie knew he must be thinking about her. No, that isn't from the novel, but that is the degree to which the author has writing skills. The syntax, on the whole, is very synethic.Then there are the absolutely ridiculous characters who seem straight out of a telenovela. Every character in this novel is one-dimensional. And the dialogue is often so contrived.If this author publishes something else, I will not be reading it.
