Negative Positive
Title: Lousy. And, oh, the angst
Review: The angst and psycho babble are much too much and too Hollywoody adolescent. This seems to be less a novel by itself and more her editor's strikeouts from Point of Origin - like the cuttings on a film editor's floor. The book drags and the emotional pain -- oh the pain, oh the pining, oh the melodrama, oh the psychological analysis -- pleeeze. Sophomoric. Reeks of being put together hastily for a deadline. Having read similar readers' comments about her newest novel, it sounds as if her good books are sadly all in the past. They were great while they lasted.
