Title: Don't buy this horrible book
Review: "The Mermaid Chair" is one of the worst books I've ever forced myself to finish (for my book club). Nearly all of my club hated it. Why? The main character was so utterly selfish, egotistical and unlikeable. The situations were unbelievable. Worse still, the author aims to give cheating on your spouse justification, since the woman was just trying to "find" herself and "claim her life just for herself." I suspect a serious case of reverse discrimination. If it was a husband cheating on his wife, would she make all the excuses for him? The sex scenes were disgusting, though not very graphic. This book is full of cheap psychology too. I imagine the author's ego matches Jessie's, and she thinks she is imparting wisdom to us lowly readers. That she would speak so condescendingly while spewing such drivel is just nauseating.
Is the review positive or negative?
