Negative Positive
Title: This will be better after Readers Digest gets done with it.
Review: The book was moderately entertaining but way WAY too wordy. The author has Smilla reminisce about everything from her life with "Mom and Dad" to talking out every thought she has ever had or ever entertained. While the writing is good and even entertaining at times, it is impossible not to get lost in the gestalt and miss the plot entirely. Final thoughts, if you like meandering plots and have a year or so to kill, read this book
