Title: Sue Monk Kidd needs atonement
Review: I can and can not believe that this is the same author that wrote "The Secret Life of Bees" (which I loved). This book tried to have the same flavor, but was hugely unsuccessful. You really get the feeling that this book was slapped on the market to make money, based on the author's first books success. If Sue Monk Kidd uses the word 'atonement' one more time in this novel (three that I counted), I think I would have puked. This truly is one of the worst books I've read in years. If I only had known that she was the author of religious books before writing the "Secret Life of Bees" I may have steered away from both books.
Is the review positive or negative?
