Title: Beyond Disappointing -
Review: I thought based on the author's credentials I would at least be somewhat impressed with her books. I guess after reading Thomas Hardy, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Bronte etc...I had my standards WAY too high, but I was so blindsided by the pure lack of depth, again, based on the author's credentials Yale, Harvard...a stint in England researching this book I was expecting to be at least mildly impressed. If you are familiar with the character "Patty Simcox" from "Grease", if she wrote a book, I would imagine it would be comparable. The only thing missing here are the hearts above the "i's" and smiley faces for periods....middle school dialogue combined with the intrigue of a fifty year old Nancy Drew book....gah!!! Save yourself!
