Negative Positive
Title: Unrealistic and depressing
Review: This is one of the most unrealistic and depressing books I have read this year. The author gives no background or reason why the characters would act in such ridiculously stupid ways. Why would parents who loved their daughter treat her the way they did? Why did the incident with Marianne change her family so dramatically, and alter their personality? Is this book saying that all of us can become thoroughly despicable characters if a tragedy occurs in our lives? Or is it saying that these people were thoroughly dispicable from the beginning and we just didn't know it until the tragedy occurred? I kept reading the book hoping there would be some reason given for the actions of the family, but in the end there was none. There was just a sweet little family reunion where everyone was so, so happy again, like at the beginning of the book. I hope nothing bad happens after the reunion, because who knows what this barracuda in disguise family will do.
Is the review positive or negative?
