Title: this book is terrible and never has a climax
Review: I don't understand the high reviews. Shouldn't there be a climax in storytelling???If you like a little girl sitting at the table talking about tea with her sister and giving subtle remarks every 20 pages about the fact that her family was killed by her sister's poison and having this be the spoiler and I'm not spoiling the book since this is purposefully revealed by pg.20 and continuously referenced.Oh, I guess I forgot to tell you about the little girl narrator's constant reference to "living on the moon." There is no plot to the story, there is nothing to hold the reader to make me want to say i'm waiting to see if this happens. The only thing that would have saved the story was if the girls were ghosts, but no they're not. I'm still wondering why I finished reading the book, so I have to give Shirley credit for that; she made me read a book when I wasn't even interested in the plot. That's a good writer, bad story though.
Is the review positive or negative?
