Negative Positive
Title: A short story gone bad
Review: Plodding, dull, self-absorbed, depressing, a waste of talent. These are just a few of the things I could say about this god-awful book, but why waste your time? You get the message. There is not one likeable character in the book, including Esmail. You learn to hate each character very quickly for their selfishness, their supreme vanity, and their wasted lives. In fact, you're almost glad they all end up dead at the end (even Kathy is "dead," as she has been most of her miserable life). This sad excuse for a novel should be avoided. Shame on Oprah for recommending such tripe.
