Negative Positive
Title: Kudos to Sittenfeld
Review: Is the writing fabulous? Yes. Is the story very ordinary? Yes. However, what makes this book worth reading is the depth of Lee Fiora, as explained by Sittenfeld. There were times when I loved Lee and was rooting for her, but there are also parts of the novel were I was disgusted with her behavior. However, Lee Fiora is very human and thats what I like most about it. Sure, there are parts of the book that are for lack of a better word, bubblegum. The comparisons to Holden Caufield, I think are without merit, but overall its very enjoyable. The writing is quite impressive for a debut novel. I am very much looking forward to Sittenfeld's next work and am hoping the sophomore effort does not disappoint.
