Negative Positive
Title: Mmm, promising material but...
Review: Overall I found this novel disappointing. All the ingredients were there for a really satisfying satire/morality tale but they just never came together with the oompf they might have had in the hands of a more sophisticated writer. The heroine was not all that sympathetic, the villain not evil enough, plot lines either obvious or reiterative, climax really flaccid and unsatisfying. A few more drafts might have made a difference. A good book for a rainy weekend or day at the beach.
