Title: Oh -- NOW I get it . . .
Review: Thank goodness for Amazon.com book reviews!!! At the end of this book, all I could say was "I don't get it." After reading about 40 reviews and piecing together bits of information, the light dawns -- I've got it!I'm an avid reader -- 3-4 books/week -- this one took me almost a month to finish. The first section was lackluster; the second confusing; the third (finally) interesting. And the italicized speech -- found myself flipping back and forth, trying to figure out who said what. Although now that I "get it," that makes more sense (and is actually quite clever).I read The Pilot's Wife and found the story intriguing, but was never "hooked and drawn in" by the characters. I had some misgivings about reading Shreve again -- once more, an interesting story line, but I just didn't have that tug-at-my-heart feeling.
Is the review positive or negative?
