Title: Physical Beauty Trumps All Else
Review: While I found the book to be well-written and compelling as it explores life through the perpectives of 3 generations of diverse and interesting family members, I was irritated by its emphasis on physical beauty.The overall importance & worth of each character seemed totally dependent on how physically beautiful they were--and consequently, everyone else (regardless of their soundness of character, level of kindness, etc) was portrayed as deeply & irreparably flawed. Perhaps the author sees the world that way, but hopefully most others outside the book do not.
Is the review positive or negative?
