Coral S. (octolush) reviewed Starts off great, then slides downhill on 12/26/2008 + 4 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 2

I was mesmerized by the story during the first 100 pages, holding my breath to see what would happen with Norah's baby. After that, this book was simply a long, drawn out, uninteresting story about a bunch of depressed characters who can't have meaningful relationships with anyone. Everything that happens in the last 150 pages could have been cut out and it would have been just as well. I finished it anyway, but found myself wondering why the author kept writing. There were several repeated sentences, repeated phrases, and repeated cliche's. The plot was intriguing but the characters and events as they are told leave a lot to be desired.
