Title: Glad it's finally over
Review: Yes this is beautifully written, "masterful prose". I wholeheartedly agree. Enjoyable reading? Definately not. I didn't find it depressing. I would sum it up as bad things happening to bad people. Not one major character had any redeeming quality at all. That's not the problem, though, for me anyway. I don't know the right word, long winded? rambling? For example, in one of the final sections of the book Peyton is speaking in about a hundred page long, all one paragraph, stream of consciousness. It's the culmination of the whole book, leading up to her suicide. It would be the most interesting reading yet, I thought, but it felt like it would never end. For me reading shouldn't be work and this was a lot of work to get through and I didn't feel like it was worth the effort.
