Helpful Score: 4

This book doesn't seem to know what it's about, and as a result, I don't either. It has the disjointed style of Faulkner without the character development. There were story lines with potential but they never went anywhere. I didn't get to know any of the characters; therefore, I didn't like them or care how their stories turned out. In fact, I felt constantly reminded of the author's presence - she was always there putting words in the characters' mouths and manipulating the forward motion of the book. It seemed a bit like an expression of the author's ego rather than a story about real people.

Overall, I couldn't wait for this book to end.
