Helpful Score: 12


I LOVED the Red Tent, this was no Red Tent. I was completely indifferent to the characters, who really had no redeeming qualities. I just didn't care about them. Compounding this, I also didn't care for the writing style; the chapters go back/forth told between 2 different women's views. If I skimmed over the title of each chapter, I would get confused and have to go back and reread.

For a book with, for the most part 2 women as the main characters (and limited development of any other characters), no emotional attachment to the characters, barely a story, only a hint of romance (nothing I'd think to satisfy romance readers)...it just doesn't have alot going for it.

I have 2 other unread books by this author and not sure if I'll be giving them a chance, at least not for a long while. I couldn't wait to finish this book and start a new one that grabbed me.
