Title: What a disappointment!
Review: I am an avid Anita Shreve fan but unlike the other reviewers of The Last Time They Met, I was very disappointed in her latest effort. I actually enjoyed the book (although less so than many of her other novels) until I got to the end. The ending, though, was so contrived and so gimmicky, it ruined the book for me. It insults the reader's intelligence. Plus, is ":A Novel" really necessary?
Is the review positive or negative?
