Negative Positive
Title: Drowned in clutter
Review: This novel was promising at the outset, and there were parts of it that I enjoyed reading. However, I became more and more dissatisfied as the story progressed. The pacing was extremely erratic, and some of the important events seemed ill placed. The author often led me to think that certain characters and events were significant when they were not -- so many side plots were opened and never closed. I felt it difficult to feel sympathetic toward the characters that the author clearly wanted her audience to sympathize with.It truly would have been a satisfying novel if it weren't so crowded and disjointed.
