Negative Positive
Title: Unredeeming; implausible; unjustified
Review: I keep thinking I ought to like J. C. Oates's books. I keep buying them. I keep reading them. After this one, I'm going to quit.Unredeeming and unlikeable characters except for the rage-filled brother, the only one who sees what's happening.Implausible plot.Utterly unjustified, sugar-coated ending.Waaaaaaay too long. Oates needs an editor in the worst way, someone to tell her when to STOP.Dreadful...I'm over it.
