Title: Make it end!
Review: This book was highly recommended by a number of my book group members who were excited about re-reading it. I was really looking forward to the book. After the first couple of pages, I felt like it would never end.The characters are flat, and the dialogue is unrealistic. The story is devoid of plot or character development. NOTHING actually happens throughout the entire "story". Ugh! My friends told me that the book made them laugh and cry. I didn't laugh once...didn't even come close: just read over and over again about a group of women laughing and laughing. WHAT were they laughing about?? The book didn't make me cry either, except to cry out, "Dear God, make it end!" (Does that qualify as a religious experience?) Ms. Radish confuses meaningful with maudlin, and insight with inane when it comes to writing. After successfully forcing myself to finish the book, my next challenge is to come up with a tactful way to express myself at the next book group meeting.
Is the review positive or negative?
