Title: Embarrassing
Review: I'm about 100 pages into this book,and I don't think that I'll be able to finish. Was Sparks paid by the word? There are so many! There is so much trivial detail (I really didn't need him to explain how to make a cup of tea) and yet Sparks drops many sub-plots that might be interesting. I'd seen the movie and enjoyed it, but the screenplay, while not especially good, was universes better than the book. And the love scenes -- really. They're just awful and embarrassing. They read like they were written by an adolescent boy. I haven't read a Harlequin book since I was a teenager, but this is on a par with what I remember.
Is the review positive or negative?
