Title: Talk about veering off the subject!!
Review: I have read most of Oprahs recent books and loved them. This one is the exception. I couldn't read beyond page 40 because she writes about an event and then gets sidetracked and goes off for pages and pages about another detail. The trick is to keep you in suspense but I felt it extremely frustrating. I never was able to find out what happens to the daughter because it probably isn't until page 200! I felt like I was talking to one of those people that will tell a story, build it up, go off on different sub-stories and then finally gets to the end and you are so happy that the story is over that you want to make a point to not carry on a conversation with that person again. This book reminds me of the John Irving style of writing and if you like his stuff you may like this.
Is the review positive or negative?
